Sharmila Tagore, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, revealed how producers end up spending more money when they rent out the Pataudi Palace for a shoot. She said, “I know about all of this because we rent out Pataudi Palace. There’ll be a secretary, a cook, and a masseuse. So that’s six to seven people right there, and that must be costing a lot to producers.” Let us tell you, the Pataudi Palace’s value is around Rs 800 crore. It is made on 10 acres of land. It has 150 rooms, where Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi would stay. Now, Saif Ali Khan is the owner of the house.

She said, “I hear there are now makeup rooms, sitting rooms, sleeping rooms and discussion rooms. The bigger the size of the vanity, the bigger the status of the star, apparently.” She also recalled how the stars from her generation would guarantee value for money. Sharmila Tagore said, “Movies of stars like Dilip Kumar ji and Waheeda Rahman ji would run to packed theatres. People knew Dev Anand’s films would have good music. Or let’s put it this way — they always fulfilled the expectations people had of them, and they recovered the money spent on their films. I believe that’s not the case anymore. Am I right?” Talking about Sharmila Tagore, the actress was seen in the Bengali film Puratwan. Stay tuned for more updates!
