Omg: Is Anurag Kashyap miffed over high payscales of SRK and Salman?

Film maker Anurag Kashyap is known for his films that have an out of the box plot. The filmmaker has always kept his views in a way that doesn't go down well with everyone in the industry. With many of the studios being shut down, Anurag has once again stepped ahead to express his concern in his style.

Disappointed with the entire situation, he even held himself responsible for it. However, explaining his take on the issue he was quoted in a report stating that, "When I see the stories about studios shutting down and then there's the image of Bombay Velvet right at the top, I do feel responsible. It hurts."[sic]

Anurag pointed out to the fact that high pay scales of our Bollywood actors is also a reason why production houses are finding it difficult to meet up with the expenses. He said, "We had four Bollywood actors (Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan) in the Forbes' highest paid actors whereas rest were Hollywood actors. The films starring the Hollywood actors earn in millions and billions, but what our films earn at max is '300 crore. But still there are Indians in that list. So, if you see the ratio on the list, business of the film vs income of the actor, there is a huge disparity." [sic]

He went ahead to say that, "Actors from the industry whose films earn '300 crore are on the list and on the other hand, there are films which earn 1.2 billion in other industries but the actors are even below our actors on the list. So, I hope you got where the issue is. I am not blaming the actors for this, all the blame should be passed on to the producers as they are ready to pay the actor such high amount. Why wouldn't the actor take that money? If someone pays me, even I would take that. There are so many articles floating around the net wherein people have labelled Mohenjo Daro and Bombay Velvet as the biggest disasters and the blame is passed on these two films for the failure (of the studios)."
