Shaan Mutthathil Responds to Anurag Kashyap's Comments on Rising Entourage Costs

Bollywood makeup artist Shaan Mutthathil, known for his work with stars like Jacqueline Fernandez and Shraddha Kapoor, recently reacted to filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's remarks on the increasing costs of entourages in the film industry. Kashyap criticized the high fees charged by makeup artists and personal chefs, which he believes overshadow the earnings of essential film crew members such as assistant directors and cameramen.

In an interview on the Phitte Muh with Sik and Jas YouTube channel, Shaan acknowledged that he earns significantly more than many film crew members, despite not having a formal education in the field. He defended his profession by stating that Kashyap's perspective is limited due to his work in a niche segment of cinema that does not prioritize glamorous appearances. Shaan implied that there is a level of jealousy involved, given that makeup artists can command higher fees than some key production roles.
