Boney Kapoor responded to Arshad Warsi's claims of low fees in the 90s: “Arshad was paid Rs 25,000 per day, which was Rs 75,000 for three days' work”.

Actor Arshad Warsi recently revealed an incident from his early career in an interview. He claimed he was underpaid for choreographing a song in Boney Kapoor's 1993 film. Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja. Arshad said that I did this work for Rs. 1 lakh, the shoot is estimated to take four days to complete. However, he managed to complete it in just three days, expecting to receive the full amount as agreed. Instead they get Rs. 75,000, with the explanation that he was paid daily and fewer days meant less payment.

Boney Kapoor responded to these claims and found it funny and explained that Arshad was paid Rs. 25,000 per day, amounting to Rs. 75,000 for three days work. He also mentioned that Arshad was not a star then, questioning the claim of promising such a huge amount. Boney noted that Arshad had never brought up the issue before despite appearing in TV shows together with Malaika Arora and Farah Khan.

He said Bollywood Hungama“I read his statement and thought it was funny. This happened in 1992 and he is bringing it up now. He was not a star at the time; Who could have given him such a huge amount? I didn't even remember this part. He was not promised a certain amount. He was paid according to how many days he worked.

The film's director Pankaj Parashar said that although he was not involved in the financial affairs, Arshad, not Arshad, completed the shoot in three days. He suggested that there was no need to make a point of it and that the claims seemed unclear.

The incident has highlighted the challenges and misunderstandings that can occur in the film industry, especially when it comes to payment and expectations.
