Stars are not shooting!

There was a time was when actors like Govinda would shoot for six films a day.

Yup in the 80s through part of the 90s, most actors be it Anil Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt would invariably be shooting at least two shifts a day for different productions. “With actors picking their projects with precision now, this phenomena is a thing of the past,” says trade consultant Amod Mehra.

When producer NR Pachisia wished to take a couple of his guests on a set recently, he discovered that a majority of the Bollywood superstars/stars were not on a film set. BT found out that:

Aamir Khan: Has just wrapped up a schedule of Three Idiots. He is currently gymming, playing badminton and table tennis and interacting with media personalities
