I think it's some misunderstanding here 🙋. Likewise, I was saying that some actors can't afford the luxury of leaving on their own even if their role is reduced because the producer may take it personally and not wan to cast them ever again or even give them bad reviews to other producers.
sorry yes I do understand what you meant... yes I suppose they do sign contracts where they can’t leave on their own until a certain time period but the production house does have the power to stop using them when they deem necessary and they will compensate them financially for that loss.. the production houses will always write in a clause to save themselves,,..e.g., I’m thinking of the actor who played the male kinnar..I’m sure he didnt take the show for 3 episodes yet his character was suddenly exited..probably as they had to change the story quickly.. And the actresses who play heers aunts..they barely get any dialogue but have to be shown...I suppose until, they get a better show or role they won’t consider leaving as it’s also the income that’s involved,,.But I find this in a lot of itv shows...e.g. in yeh rishta Kya kehelata hai we used to refer to the supporting cast as furniture..as they just need to be present in the scenes but never get any dialogue ..as all the dialogue goes to the leads..yet these actors stay on for years....but these actors have always done side roles.. I really feel for Simba who, signed on as the male lead but has been sidelined so much recently...this is definitely not what he had expected I’m sure...I’ve never seen an itv show where the male lead has been sidelined like Simba has these past few months...🤦🏻♀️
