Friday, 25th July 2014, 06:30 PM IST Actress Bipasha Basu has apparently asked the producers of her film ‘Creature 3D’ to pay the remuneration of her staff during the promotional appearances that she will be making. This cost amounts to a whopping Rs 1 lakh per promotional appearance.
A source said, “Bipasha will promote the film but her stylist will apparently charge around Rs 65-70,000 and her hair and makeup artistes need to be paid around Rs 15-20,000. Her driver and man Friday too have to be paid.” The film has already gone over budget due to the 3D effects and this stance from Bips has upset the producer of the film. However, producer Bhushan Kumar denied the news saying, “Bipasha has not charged any extra amountfor the film’s promotional activities. We have signed a contract which clearly states the remuneration for her staff and we will continue the same for promotions as well.” When contacted, Bipasha justified her claims saying, “Staff payments are always a part of the film contract and they get paid an amount that has been already agreed upon. So there is no additional cost here. Also, why is this being touted as an exceptional case? Every actor’s staff charges remuneration for their daily work — be it promotions or film shoots.” |
