Not Budget But Rajinikanth's Unavailability Put Salman Khan's Film With Director Atlee In Backburner?

Mumbai, March 5 - The rumours around director Atlee's big-budgeted film with superstar Salman Khan refuse to die except for the fact that it has been shelved, as per industry sources. The mega 2-hero film was supposed to set the box office on fire but not anymore. ## There have been many rumours regarding the shelving of Atlee's film with Salman. Since the movie was supposed to be a 2-hero epic, superstar Rajinikanth was reportedly in talks to come on board to join Salman. The temptation was also made to bring Kamal Haasan on board but nothing made to the cut.## Amid the reports that the film got shelved due to budget issues, the latest report by Pinkvilla revealed that it has been put on the back burner due to the unavailability of Rajinikanth because of the date issues. Kamal Haasan too wasn't sure about playing the second lead role, which, as per the report, was the role of the father of Salman's character.## Rajinikanth is currently shooting for Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie and he will next start Nelson's Jailer 2 soon, so was difficult to secure his dates for A6 in the immediate future. Since the project was supposed to have cost over 600 crores, the movie needed a big South superstar to justify this huge cost but things didn't fall in place.## Pinkvilla has denied the rumours of the project getting shelved due to budget. It is said that Salman Khan and Atlee were confident of getting either Rajini or Kamal Haasan to join the film which was also a demand of Sun Pictures and once that didn't happen, the duo decided to not proceed with the film for now and they might join hands in future for a different script. ## Meanwhile, A6 will now be made with superstar Allu Arjun who is fresh from the all-time blockbuster Pushpa 2 - The Rule. It will be produced by Sun Pictures and the shoot is likely to commence in the summer of 2025 for a grand Pan India release next year. ## Stay tuned...

John Abraham Criticizes High Actor Fees and Entourage Costs in Bollywood

Mumbai, February 26 - Bollywood actor and producer John Abraham has sparked a major debate in the film industry with his recent comments about actors charging excessive fees and the high costs of their entourages. In an interview, he called the current situation "ridiculous" and said that such expenses are hurting Bollywood. He believes that huge salaries and unnecessary spending on stylists, managers, and security are making it harder to produce good films. His remarks have quickly become a hot topic among industry insiders and fans. ## Abraham pointed out that some actors have entourages of 10 to 15 people, with stylists charging up to ₹2 lakh per day. He argued that these costs put too much pressure on film budgets, making it difficult to focus on storytelling. He also criticized actors for living in a "bubble" and not realizing how their fees impact the industry. According to him, Bollywood should prioritize content over glamour and unnecessary expenses.## Apart from blaming actors, Abraham also said that producers are part of the problem. He mentioned that many producers agree to pay actors high fees, hoping that star power alone will guarantee success. However, he believes this is not the right approach and that producers should focus on making good films instead of just securing big names. He emphasized that no actor can guarantee a film’s success anymore, and strong content is more important. ## As a solution, Abraham suggested that actors should lower their fees and instead take a share of the film's profits. This way, actors will be motivated to make good films rather than just taking large paychecks upfront. He also encouraged actors to be humble and accept that their value should be based on the film’s success, not just their personal brand. His comments suggest that the industry needs a major change in how films are made and financed. ## Abraham’s words have received mixed reactions. Some fans and industry figures agree with him, saying that Bollywood needs to control its spending. Others argue that actors bring in audiences and deserve high salaries. With Bollywood struggling to recover from recent box office failures, Abraham's statements may encourage much-needed changes. Whether the industry listens or continues with its expensive habits remains to be seen.## Stay tuned...
