Bollywood actor John Abraham has strongly criticized his fellow actors for their exorbitant fees and rising entourage costs, calling it detrimental to Hindi cinema. In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, John addressed the ongoing issue of actors charging massive amounts.

When asked about “heroes asking for INR 100 crore per day and their stylists demanding  INR 2 lakh per day,” John termed it “mental.” He further explained, “It’s already hurting Hindi cinema. At this point in time, we shouldn’t be paying people to act in films because we don’t justify those huge budgets, the huge fees that we get paid. We can’t load a film with entourage costs as well. It’s ridiculous.”

John questioned whether actors themselves or their agents were behind this trend, adding, “I understand you are put in a bubble, but you can’t be so daft. You need to get out and see the real world. If people are blowing sunshine from your backside, you need to wake up and smell the coffee.”

He urged actors to be more responsible, saying, “Actors should admit that we are down the deep black hole… How much more will you suck the system dry?”

John will next be seen in The Diplomat, an action thriller set for release on March 15.
