The pandemic was a difficult time for all the businesses around the globe. Many of them were shut down while several others had to lay off their staff because the business owners were not able to pay their salaries. The entertainment industry also took a hit during this tough time. Well, currently the industry is in the recovery phase. But recently, several consecutive Hindi films did not fare well at the box office. During a recent panel event, Alia Bhatt admitted that the industry did suffer a setback amid the pandemic. She also shed light on how the salaries of top actors and actresses should be balanced out against the budget of the film.

To this, Alia responded by saying that she agrees that the reassessment should happen. She added that she is a ‘creative’ producer and not a ‘numbers’ producer. Alia further said that the content of the films is bringing people to the theatres and that the star value or the stardom of an actor just adds layers to it.
