In a Exclusive Conversation with Movified, acclaimed actors Amit Sial and Sahil Vaid shared their thoughts on much-needed changes in the Indian film industry. One topic that resonated deeply with both artists was the lack of royalty for actors, a system prevalent abroad but still absent in India.
When asked about one thing they would change in the industry, Amit Sial responded passionately, “Actors ko royalty milni chahiye… taaki woh frustrated na rahein. Jab ek kaam khatam hota hai, toh agli job ke liye bhaagna padta hai. Lekin agar royalty ho, toh jeevan vyapan ke liye kuch na kuch milta rahega.” He went on to add how artists work tirelessly on a project, but once it’s done, their contribution often feels sidelined.
Backing his sentiment, Sahil Vaid chimed in, “True, maine kabhi socha nahi tha iss baare mein. Agar royalty milne lage, toh actors apne craft pe sach mein focus kar sakte hai — bina survival ki chinta ke.”
Amit concluded by stating, “Royalty se kaam bhi improve hoga… actor zyada focused rahega.”
