'Karan Johar wants to cut pay cheques': Says Saif Ali Khan

A few weeks ago, Bollywood director and producer Karan Johar said that actors charge somewhere around Rs. 40 crores for a film, but fail to have a box office collection of more than Rs. 3- 4 crores. Recently, actor Saif Ali Khan reacted to this statement of Karan Johar’s.

Saif Ali Khan said, "He wants to cut pay cheques. I think I should have my own union on that. I am sure he is right, but it makes me a little nervous when we hear about cutting pay cheques. No cutting pay cheques. That's what happens - you go to a star, sometimes they say 'hey, if you want me, that's what it is going to cost'. And people pay it. And if people pay it, then sometimes the economics do get skewed.

He further added, But, Indians are businessmen. So, the film industry is primarily a business kind of financial centre in itself and people take shots. But, Karan Johar knows best. I'm just joking. What he (Karan Johar) is talking about is people charging astronomical money and then not delivering, which can't last. We don't charge that much, we are recession-proof."

Saif Ali Khan was last seen in the Jr. NTR and Janhvi Kapoor starrer Devara, playing the role of Bhairava, a negative character.
