Kriti Sanon, who is set to make her production debut with Do Patti, said backing the Netflix film was a “creatively satisfying” experience for her.
The launch of her production house coincides with the actress completing 10 years in Bollywood. The actress opened up about the hight entourage cost of stars which has become a challenging thing for producers.
Kriti Sanon: We have to be mindful about it
In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Kriti Sanon said, “My vision is still the same. When we talk about hair, makeup and costume, they make the character to a large extent. Having said that, there are a lot of unnecessary entourage, which some times certain actors might get. We have to be mindful of it.”
She further added, “If I am doing an action film, it is important for the character to have a trainer and a nutritionist or when I had to gain 15 kgs for Mimi, I had a nutritionist whose cost was on the production. But, if I am doing it for my luxury and well-being and if it is not as necessary for the film, then that should not be on production. So these basics I understand and agree with it. Some unnecessary, stupid cost should not come in the production. You got to have a cap on it.”

But if you are in a film where you need to make a certain kind of body for that particular role, then obviously from the actor a lot of effort goes into achieving that. The expenses then, rightly so, the producer takes care of. So, you need to understand what is needed and what is luxury. The producers have to take a call.”
