Pahlaj Nihalani indirectly confirms open use of drugs in Bollywood; Says, Akshay Kumar ..

Pahlaj Nihalani, the veteran Bollywood producer, recently made some shocking revelations about stars. Known for producing some big hits during the 80s and 90s, the producer recently shared some shocking details, which indirectly confirmed that the use of drugs is a common thing among Bollywood actors.

The former Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chief also shed light on the growing entourage charges of the actors and how it is affecting the budget of the movies.

Actors demand diet food and drugs

Pahlaj Nihalani threw light on the current situation of actors and their demands in Bollywood, which is affecting the movies and their budgets badly. He said, “Where one person was working, now 10 people are employed. Earlier, there used to be one vanity van, but now actors demand six vanity vans — one for exercising, one for the kitchen, one for meetings. Sharam ani chahiye un actors ko ko che vanity vans mangate hai.”

“Earlier, only makeup men used to go with actors, now they demand a separate hairdresser and a person just to hold their mirror. They give Rs 1.5 lakh bills for nothing. Earlier, they used to bring home-cooked food, but now they want diet food. They want drugs at night and diet food in the morning,” he added.

While discussing various things during his interview on the YouTube channel Learn From The Legend, Pahlaj Nihalani said that he was not used to actors interfering with the casting of his movies. However, it did happen one time when Akshay Kumar insisted that he should take Kareena Kapoor Khan as the leading lady for a film.

Pahlaj Nihalani said, “Earlier, producers and directors used to cast heroes and wouldn’t interfere in casting. The first actor to interfere in casting with me was Akshay Kumar in Talaash in 2002. He told me that ‘we can start the movie tomorrow, and you can give me any amount that you want, but the heroine of this film will be Kareena Kapoor.”
