Don't bother getting dragged into absurd comparisons like SRK vs. Deepika. Even the thought of something like that is absolutely hilarious. 🤣

Just by engaging, you're giving it too much unnecessary attention. 😆

why would they do anything? They are the co producers for the major big projects. They reduce heroines to flowerpots, take away all the credit for the success of the movie and keep increasing their own fees for the next movie. This has been the cycle.

Take CE and HNY for example...deepika was the main attraction and shahrukh khan was completely overshadowed by her. But even then shahrukh khan stole the entire credit for the success and his fans till today refuse to acknowledge deepu's contribution.🥱This is why actresses like deepika, kangna, etc aren't keen on doing movies with them. They gain nothing out of working with superstars.

Amir khan is another example. He was terrible in dhoom3, PK, strictly average in TZP n dangal ...and still he managed to steal creditfrom the other star cast. He openly calls Katrina item girl for TOH.lol

They are the primary reason for the wage gap. Duh

I can't SUPERSTAR DP's Tamasha opening was less than 11crs Superstar DP's Piku opened at less than 6 crs and Finding Fanny 4 cr No KHAN no party. CE and HNY was SRK's pull. Yes Bajirao defeated Dilwale but Dilwale's first day was 21 and BM 12, that's stardom. And good word of mouth will lead to higher lifetime total and I so wanna unsee whatever you wrote about Aamir


OT: we live in a patriarchal society and it won't change just like that. Need more female directors, writers technicians and obviously actresses who are more than just pretty facesanf more movies like Veere Di Wedding a multi starter women centric movie

Nothing as this is BW where Box Office is master, if females manage to give consistent hits then they can talk about having equal pay.
Why does not BW make an entire female crew from directors, producers etc, if they manage to pull it off then yes they can negotiate their price.

You won't have to do anything, SHOW THE WORK.

The time when Women Centric films will be SUPER HIT, BLOCKBUSTER, ATBB, automatically Heroines will start getting more or equal to Hero as then they will have strong fanbase. Producers will themselves do this.

HERO are paid more coz of their audience pull even if Film is failing badly, how much they can save. Kaala Chashma is huge hit, major role is from Katrina, how much it could do when BBD was tanking at BO? Exactly, there is the difference, her fanbase can't even make it Average film.

It's none of our concern. Wage gap is there i unorganized sector which includes daily wage labour and film - tv industry.
Well everywhere else people arw paid based on merit and in.government according to ur rank/ post.
I don't get why "pseudo"- feminists get riled up so fast.
In Bollywood women get paid less and in tv women get paid more.
U can't expect equal payment when u have no star power.
Also imo there's nothing wrong in being a patriarchal society . If ppl don't watch women centric movies it's not because they are misogynist but because those movies are mostly too preachy

If indeed BO success and the opening figures of a movie decides how much an actor should be paid, then why is Ranbir still paid so much? Alia who has been casted opposite him in brahmastra has probably more hits under her belt now!! 😕
