Producers blast Vanity Van madness in Bollywood. Producers of Bollywood took a strong exception to the growing madness among the stars over Vanity Van madness.
Director Sanjay Gupta says “All the old-school guys, including Mr Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, and Hrithik Roshan, only have one makeup guy and one spot boy.Producers complain, and rightfully so, because suddenly you’re paying lakhs,”
Renowned filmmaker Rajiv Rai says “Stars today treat producers like money bags… My father, Gulshan Rai, worked with Amitabh Bachchan, Dev Anand, Hema Malini—you name them—without facing such starry demands. Today, producers even end up paying laundry bills,”
Producer Suneel Darshan said “A Vanity Van for convenience is fine. Beyond that, it’s just complexes, egos and extravagance at others’ cost,”
Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra shared “If stars call for 5, 6, or 7 Vanity Vans, it’s a sign of weak production houses that allow it and then complain,” He continued “If a star halts shooting for ice cream, they better pay for it—the ice cream and the delay. I don’t tolerate tantrums,”
Vikram Bhatt added “Not enough can be said about the vanity-van culture. I don’t have the patience to wait endlessly for stars.”
