Jamnadas Majethia is one of the finest actors in the Indian entertainment world, but that`s not all. He often dons his producer`s hat to let the audience witness the magic of comedy. In his career, he has given us shows like Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, Khichdi, and most recently, Wagle Ki Duniya, to name a few. With the buzz about actors` rising demands gaining momentum, Midday.com asked him about the reality of this issue, and his reply was quite surprising. In an interview with Midday.com, JD Majethia talked about how producers are affected by the increasing demands of actors, shared a personal incident, and much more.
JD Majethia in a conversation started the conversation by saying, “I have always faced this challenge because the job of a producer is the most demanding. Because a producer is a giver, and everyone else is a taker. Despite the role of an actor, there are 50 different people involved.” “Managing everything, from 125-150 people on a regular shoot to 300-350 for a big film or OTT production, makes it difficult to keep everyone happy. Those who are replaceable or feel they can get similar work elsewhere might negotiate for less money and maintain a bit of power. But, once an actor gets popular, the producer becomes vulnerable, and many take advantage of this,” he further added.
