Saif Ali Khan who is currently gearing up for his Telugu debut has come forward to rebuke Karan Johar’s ‘stars can’t guarantee hits’ remark. Speaking during his recent appearance the actor pointed out that Karan is just trying to ‘cut pay cheques.’ Saif said, "He wants to cut pay cheques.
I think I should have my own union on that. I am sure he is right, but it makes me a little nervous when we hear about cutting pay cheques. No cutting pay cheques.
Well look, the economics of our industry (is like that). That's what happens - you go to a star, sometimes they say 'hey, if you want me, that's what it is going to cost'. And people pay it.
And if people pay it, then sometimes the economics do get skewed. But, Indians are businessmen. So the film industry is primarily a business kind of financial centre in itself and people take shots.
But, Karan Johar knows best. I'm just joking." A post shared by Saif Ali Khan 🔵 (@saifalikhan_online) The actor added, "What he (Karan Johar) is talking about is people charging astronomical money and then not delivering, which can't last.
We don't charge that much, we are recession-proof." Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter India recently, Karan spoke about stars demanding a huge amount to star in a film. He had said, "What is your last couple of films? How much have you opened to? With what right are you asking me for this number?.
..Every star asked me for the same money that the budget was for.
I was like, ‘How can I pay you? .
