In a recent show of solidarity, actor Harshvardhan Rane has echoed Aamir Khan's sentiments regarding the financial burden of celebrity entourages on film producers. Rane voiced his support for Khan's stance, emphasizing the need for actors to be mindful of production costs and advocating for a more responsible approach to on-set expenditures.
Aamir Khan had earlier raised concerns about the increasing expenses associated with accommodating the large entourages that often accompany Bollywood stars. He questioned the necessity of such elaborate arrangements, highlighting the strain they place on film budgets.
Harshvardhan Rane has now firmly aligned himself with this viewpoint, suggesting that actors should take greater ownership of their expenses and avoid passing them on to producers. In a statement, Rane declared that producers should not bear the costs of stars' luxuries and that he pledges to be mindful of these costs.
This isn't the first time Rane has spoken candidly about industry practices. In February 2025, he shared his views on nepotism in Bollywood, noting that while star kids may have initial advantages, many ultimately "vanish from the scene," while outsiders often achieve lasting success. He emphasized the importance of focusing on one's work and proving their storytelling ability. Rane also expressed that he does not feel bitter about star kids' opportunities. He believes in looking at the facts and that hard work is what allows people to succeed.
Rane's stance on entourage costs reflects a broader concern within the industry about financial prudence and the need to streamline production processes. By supporting Aamir Khan's call for greater responsibility, he is contributing to an important conversation about the economics of filmmaking and the role of actors in ensuring projects remain viable. This aligns with his previously stated desire to make producers happy, particularly by delivering successful films that leave them feeling satisfied.
The actor is known for films such as 'Sanam Teri Kasam'.
