Priyadarshan, a veteran filmmaker with a career spanning four decades and 100 films, has expressed his dislike for Bollywood's entourage culture.
He pointed out that on a film set, he often sees many people doing nothing and blocking his view, which exhausts him.
Priyadarshan is returning to Bollywood with three films over the next two years, including Bhooth Bangla, a horror comedy starring Akshay Kumar, and Hera Pheri 3, a reunion of Akshay, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty.
His comments come as many filmmakers have spoken out against the rising costs of actors' entourages in Hindi cinema, often borne by producers.
