In light about the difficulties of technicians in the film industry, Mahira has chosen to defend the little guy. Joining the refrain of the fraternity of entertainment speaking on late payments, Mahira took her Instagram history on Thursday and reminded us of the scale of the problem.
“Imagine, if senior players and manufacturers’ directors go through it,” she said. “Imagine what technicians are going through.”
Mahira’s comment was a nod to the previous calls by director Mehreen Jabbar, veteran actor Mohammed Ahmed and other industry professionals like Ahmed Ali Butt, Ramsha Khan, Nadia Afgan, Yasir Hussain and Alizeh Shah.
Mehreen had exploded the bubble of those who house the impression that a career in the television industry is equivalent to a flourishing bank account in July. “Our theater industry has progressed a lot and there has been a very large audience,” she said during a virtual interview with Pakistani drama. “But behind the scenes, there is a lot of compromise and this industry operates in a very little professional way. This is the sad party.”
THE Jackson Heights The director has also said that the United States can have many problems, but that payment schedules are still kept. However, in Pakistan, with each channel and production house, artists must hunt their money as beggars.
Confirming the mahira declaration, the Dobara Phir is The director said that this is not a problem limited to the right actors. “Everyone is facing this, actors in the boy in the Boy spot to the director,” said the filmmaker. “There is no system. You ask anyone, and you will get thousands of stories about payment problems. ”
Mohammed thanked Mehreen for starting the conversion in July. Going on Instagram, he said: “Mehreen has talked very clearly about the system and the theater industry, and that makes me so happy. She has clearly said what I have said quietly for years.”
THE Cake The actor said that a period of three to four months is extremely normal.
Save the analogy of the beggar of Mehreen, Mohammed continued: “You must roughly shake his hands together and beg them to pay you. Then, they dispense a check on your way, while giving the impression that they make you a massive favor, just because they are worthy to pay you.
Ahmed also criticized the recurring problem of the industry with late payments. “Late payment is an industry standard,” he said in an Instagram history in July. “Production houses, television channels and corporate sponsors all have a payment clause of 60 to 90 days, and that too is almost never encountered in time.”
He added: “There are a few rare people who will pay you in time, otherwise everyone will ensure that you will have to start your money, and that too in payments.” On a lighter note, the actor said: “Work for YouTube. Be your own boss.”
Mahira joining the chorus and reminding us how it could affect people behind the camera, some responsibility is necessary for production houses.
