Sharmila concerned about actors’ huge fees, entourage
She said, “I am concerned about how actors are not just charging huge amounts, but many even travel with cooks, masseuse, and an entire entourage. I was doing an ad film, and the person who did my makeup revealed that today, there some actors have a running competition over the size of their vanity vans.”
Sharmila compares needs of vanity vans earlier vs now
“Vanity vans were all about privacy, and a comfortable place to dress up. Now, you have meeting rooms, resting rooms, etc… All of this is pushing actors away from what actually matters… the acting. Of course, making money is important, but if you are moving away from reality, how would you know what works and doesn’t with the audience.”
