Piyush Mishra Criticizes Bollywood’s Oversized Entourages, Praises Ranbir Kapoor’s Professionalism

The Curly Tales remarks add momentum to concerns that star entourages drain production budgets.

Overview

  • Piyush Mishra said many Hindi film actors arrive with 8–9 team members and up to 12–14 bodyguards, questioning the need for such security and support.
  • He contrasted this with the South Indian industry, which he described as more humble and easier to work in.
  • Mishra noted he travels with only one assistant and one make-up artist, rejecting additional personal staff.
  • He singled out Ranbir Kapoor as a grounded star who does not throw tantrums despite his stature.
  • Earlier critiques cited by coverage include Sanjay Gupta’s account of an actor using six vanity vans and Anurag Kashyap’s claim that some stars employ chefs charging around Rs 2 lakh per day, with no reported industry reforms so far.
