CINTAA\u2019s involvement would ensure that both producer and artiste\u2019s interests are balanced.”The source further shared with the website that the dispute will be a reference point to form a new policy with respect to rising production costs. The person shared, “Producers today are bearing disproportionate financial pressure due to expanding entourage. Seeing that stars\u2019 entourages remain bloated, as evident from this case, it\u2019s best to put guidelines in place.”‘Don 3’ dispute escalates; Producers Guild plans sit-down over Ranveer Singh\u2013Farhan Akhtar issue<\/p>\n
