Vanity Van Craze Among Stars Exposed Again!
Director Farah Khan, known for hits like om shanti om and Main Hoon Naa, has highlighted an alarming tendency in the business: actors' high expectations. According to Khan, some performers won't go on until their fleet of four customised vans—each with a different function, like a food truck or a gym—arrives on set. They also require a vehicle so they may have private conversations with their co-stars. Not only does bollywood follow this tendency, but other language-based sectors do as well.
The fact that mid-range and small-scale performers are now seeking the same extravagant treatment as A-listers is even more concerning since it puts more financial burden on producers. With the exception of a small number of celebrities, most stars these days cannot even guarantee a spot at the box office, and their never-ending demands create a stressful atmosphere for producers. Budgets are strained by this entitlement mentality, which also keeps the industry's unsustainable dynamic alive.

Prominent tollywood producer TG vishwa Prasad also discussed the celebrity caravan mania and the corruption that surrounds it. It's time for performers to put expertise ahead of extravagance so that producers can work less. The film business will become healthier and more viable if this tantrum culture is put an end to.
