Boney Kapoor took a dig at Arshad Warsi for not paying him, said- everyone wants media attention
Arshad Warsi is in the news these days for his statement about Prabhas. Due to his statement, many stars have criticized him. At the same time, another statement of his is going viral from the same interview in which he talked about getting less payment. Now the actor is again surrounded by this statement.
In a recent case, Arshad Warsi was trolled a lot for calling Prabhas a joker. Incidentally, in this very interview, Arshad had alleged being paid less to choreograph a song for Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja.
The film was produced by Boney Kapoor. The actor has claimed in his complaint that he was paid Rs 25 thousand less on the promise of four days of shoot.
And by now, the producer Boney Kapoor has reacted to it. Talking to Bollywood Hungama, Boney said that he laughed upon hearing Arshad Warsi. He said that the movie was shot in 1992 and at that time, Arshad Warsi was not a star. He further said that the choreography was supposed to be completed in four days but the director of the song Pankaj Parasher completed it in three days. As such, Arshad had received Rs 75,000 @ Rs 25,000 per day.
Boney Kapoor has also worked with Arshad Warsi in a TV show. He said that the actor didn't mention anything to him then. Calling himself a soft target, he said that now everybody wants media attention.
Actually, some time ago Arshad Warsi gave an interview to Samdish Bhatia. In this, Arshad claimed that he got less money for his work in Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja. Arshad said, 'The production people requested me to finish the song quickly because shooting for four days would increase the cost. We worked very hard to complete the song and completed it in three days. I thought the production would be happy. When I went to collect my cheque, he gave me Rs 75,000.
I said, 'I have just saved a whole day's shoot for you, you should pay me more.' To this, he said, 'No, it was Rs 1 lakh for four days. You have worked for three days, so that makes Rs 75,000.'
