Saif Ali Khan Fires Back at Karan Johar’s Comment on Star Salaries: ‘He’s Trying to Tighten the Purse Strings’ | Hindi Movie News

Bollywood Newshound Nisha here, your go-to snoop for all things glitzy, glamorous, and absolutely ridiculous in Bollywood! Buckle up, buttercups, because today we’re diving into the drama of star salaries, box office bombs, and Karan Johar’s latest zinger! 🎬💥

Saif Ali Khan Responds to Karan Johar’s Paycheck Conundrum: "No Cutting Pay Cheques!"

Oh, Karan Johar, you cheeky rascal! Just a few weeks ago, our dear KJo dropped a bombshell about Bollywood stars charging up to Rs 40 crore but bringing in a measly Rs 3.5 crore at the box office. It’s like paying for a Rolls Royce and getting a rickshaw ride instead. 🚗➡️🛺

Enter Saif Ali Khan, the Nawab himself, who decided to respond to KJo’s spicy remark. Speaking to Hindi Movie News, Saif chuckled and 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!” 😂

Saif, darling, who knew you were so attached to those big fat pay cheques? But hey, who wouldn’t be! Our industry is like a financial rollercoaster—sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down, and sometimes you’re just holding on for dear life. 🎢

Saif went on to acknowledge the precarious state of the industry, noting that stars demanding astronomical fees is a risky business. “But Karan Johar knows best,” he added. Ah, the sweet sound of diplomacy. 🎭

And let’s not forget Karan’s earlier rant during a roundtable discussion, where he questioned the logic of paying stars like Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn exorbitant amounts despite their films not performing well. “How can you ask for Rs 40 crore when the budget is only Rs 40 crore?” Karan mused. Good question, KJo. Maybe the stars think they’re worth their weight in gold? 💰

On the work front, Saif is all set to grace the silver screen in Devara: Part 1, playing the role of Bhairava. The film, featuring Jr NTR and marking Janhvi Kapoor’s Telugu debut, is set to release on September 27. Mark your calendars, folks! 🗓️

Nisha’s Nutshell

So, what’s the moral of this celebrity filled saga? When in Bollywood, always aim for the moon, even if you land among the pay cheques. Oh, and remember—Karan Johar knows best. Or does he? 🤔✨
