Bollywood's star system has long been a defining feature of the industry, but veteran actor Lalit Parimoo has always been against it. In a recent chat, he revealed that he once proposed a rule to CINTAA suggesting that senior actors should step aside after reaching a certain level of financial success.
Parimoo believes that actors who have earned ₹50 crore should retire, making space for newcomers. He compared it to the corporate world, where people are retired at a certain age to give opportunities to others. He also spoke about the economic disparity within the film industry, pointing out the huge gap between the salaries of top actors and those of lesser-known artists.
Parimoo, a veteran Indian actor and theatre artist, has built a diverse body of work with notable roles in films such as Haider, Agent Vinod, Mission Kashmir, The Legend of Bhagat Singh, and Hattrick. He became a household name for playing the evil scientist Dr Jaikaal in the iconic superhero series Shaktimaan.
