In an interview with an entertainment portal, Dhadak actress defended the high entourage cost in Hindi film industry  and said, "But I’m of the belief that everyone on a film set is an artist. I know I’m very protective of my team and I’d like to protect their rights. Being a producer’s daughter, however, I also know the kind of burden and pressure all these monetary things can put on a producer. It’s important to have an open dialogue with your makers.”

Mili actress  further added that everyone who is a part of an actor’s crew does not work for money and said, “That if this is not the film where you can have all of this then you can make that adjustment and if this is the film where your team can get what you want then you give them that. I’m sure if you are working with people who care about the craft as much as you do… Sab log yaha sirf paiso ke liye kaam nahi kar rahe, kaam ke liye bhi kaam kar rahe hai. So I think it is easy to come to an understanding about these things."

Earlier,Farah Khan had shared her view about changing one thing in the film and said, “ The change I would like to bring about is that the entourage cost has become too much. An actress comes with nine people, an actor comes with eight people. That is a waste of resources. That cost is nowhere to be seen in the film! That needs to be controlled a bit. Woh producers pe bohot bhaari padta hai."

Rajkummar Rao is one of the stars of Mr. & Mrs. Mahi, which is directed by Sharan Sharma and produced by Zee Studios and Dharma Production. Meanwhile, Janhvi Kapoor's next film appearance will be in Devara, which is slated for release on October 10 and also stars Jr. NTR and Saif Ali Khan.
