‘Bottled water alone can finance a film’: Sudhir Pandey calls out Bollywood entourages · indianexpress.com

Bollywood stars often travel with large teams and have expensive demands, like multiple vanity vans and personal staff.

This has led to a debate in the industry.

Some people think stars deserve this treatment and producers should pay for it.
