The rising price of hair and make-up in Bollywood has grow to be a rising concern, with many producers frightened about the way it’s affecting movie budgets. Based on experiences, whereas a movie’s author might earn round ₹10–12 lakh, the hair and make-up bills alone can go as excessive as ₹5–10 crore. The surge is basically as a result of excessive calls for of HMU (Hair, Make-up, and Upholstery) groups that journey with high stars, usually requiring first-class tickets and five-star stays. The entourage prices of stars is a large subject of debate in the intervening time, because it solely provides stress to the trade and producers. In a latest interview, superstar hairstylist Aalim Hakim has mirrored on it. He revealed that the extra the worth of the actor, the upper the charges of his entourage. Aalim Hakim instructed SCREEN, “Principally, within the trade, what individuals do is enhance their charges primarily based on the worth of the actor. If somebody is a celebrity, then their entourage’s charges shall be excessive, and if one other star doesn’t have that a lot box-office pull, their entourage shall be cheaper. However I personally really feel you need to cost the identical charges for everyone, whether or not it’s a celebrity or a newcomer. If you purchase an iPhone, the value stays the identical for each the wealthy and the poor. So why does an entourage double or triple their charges as soon as their star delivers a Rs 500 crore hit? As in the event that they themselves delivered a Rs 500 crore hit! A star can enhance their very own charges, however the employees ought to get only a 5–10% hike yearly, prefer it occurs within the company sector.”He additional added, “Whoever is doing such issues is doing unsuitable. I’ve by no means completed such a factor in my life. We’ve got a standardized worth for each actor; that’s why we’ve survived for thus lengthy and our status is so sturdy. As a result of we’ve by no means quoted an unethical quantity. Issues get ugly when somebody quotes an unethical worth. It bad-mouths the career.”Aalim is at the moment engaged on a number of big-ticket tasks, together with Siddharth Anand’s ‘King’, Atlee’s upcoming movie with Allu Arjun, Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayan’, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Love and Warfare’, and S.S.
