The world is grappling with the deadly Covid-19 pandemic for many months now with news of layoffs and salary cuts. One such headline making the rounds in Btown right now is that the ‘Brahmastra’ team is taking pay cuts to make the project viable. Call it rumours, but the film’s producer Karan Johar had to issue a clarification saying, “My hugest request to my media friends is not to reach any assumptions on our fraternity or films. These are challenging times for the business and false news only makes the situation worse! Please wait for official news on any account! This is a humble request.” It is no secret that ‘Brahmastra’ has been long in the making and Ayan Mukerji-directed film’s budget has gone through the roof.
