What! Akshay Kumar's staff was paid more than veteran actor Mushtaq Khan in 'Welcome'

Veteran actor Mushtaq Khan recently opened up about the pay parity in Bollywood and made a shocking revelation. The actor revealed that he got paid even less than Akshay Kumar's staff for the film 'Welcome.' In a podcast with Digital Commentary, the actor said, 'My payment might have been lesser than Akshay Kumar’s staff in the film. Unfortunately our films spend a lot of money on ‘stars’. We go everywhere on our own, we travel in economy and stay in the hotels provided by the makers. In Dubai, the hotel I was allotted, was the same hotel in which Akshay’s staff was staying. This happens a lot in big films.' However, the actor said that times are changing and most of the directors want to end the vast disparity between actors. 'A lot of filmmakers want to end this disparity. I am doing a film titled Stree 2 and I get a lot of love and they take care of everyone. We have a lot of fun together. I recently did Railway Men and I had a lot of fun. The production guys gave a lot of respect. The new generation of production people and even actors are doing very well', said the actor.
