How do the actors with the bizarre lifestyles get so much money compared to hard working Indian folks

  I created this blog with my viewpoint in reference to the book "The Long Tail" by Chris Anderson.



Have you ever wondered how famous actors, athletes, and many other individuals get so much money in comparison to India's hardworking citizens?

Do their efforts and dedication to pursuing their passion pay off financially? If the answer is yes, why do we not possess the same talent, effort, and commitment towards our passion to earn a good living?

Therefore, the most important question is: "Are these people truly deserving of receiving such a large sum of money?"

Indians have an enormous love for cinema, so in this case we will focus on the film sector. In contrast to what a movie star may do in real life, most people idolize and follow actors without knowing their true identities. 

However, this is not the situation, we will be discussing in this article.



In a film industry, there are numerous Badshah's and Super Stars, each living with their own lifestyle and wealth.

while seeing things as an outsider we divided in to the two sides of the coin.


Type 1 - People defend their wages and think actors are deserving of receiving large sums of money.

Type 2: These peoples think that those actors are not deserving of receiving large sums of money.


Apparently, the Type 2 peoples are right in their position. Yes, these actors aren't deserving of receiving a large sum of money.

However, we must still question why they are receiving enormous sums of money and we have to consider the Type 2 individuals have properly analyzed their statements? or did they have merely grudge towards the actors? Well, these arguments are not the focus of this blog.


Let's look at the market size of Indian Cinema

1. In terms of ranking Indian cinemas box office holds the 2nd position across the world

2. In the 2023 fiscal year, the value of the Indian film industry was forecasted to amount to around 229 billion Indian rupees.

3. India is home to a multi-million-dollar film industry.


You can see how large the Indian film business is in the aforementioned Cases.

Let's envision X and Y, two actors.

Y is a really brilliant actor, and he prefers to deliver good movies with a few commercial components. 

X is also a talented actor, but he exclusively appears in commercial films, which allowed him to become more familiar with different states than actor Y

Although actor Y is a great performer than actor X, but he is not familiar among peoples which reduces the market for Y and reportedly X earns more money than Y due to his familiarity.

Some claim that some films with solid content and a minor hero make more money than those with major heroes. Yes, I completely agree, but right now I'm taking a wider view.


Finally, it does not depend on the commitment and effort of the actor. Due to the fact that the market determines an individual's income, it simply depends on his market capacity.

It has nothing to do with actors, athletes, or anyone else. It's all about the market. You'll earn more money if the market is vast.  However, you will only make a minimal profit if your market is small.

"There is always a difference between a worker working for a company with a 1-million-dollar business and a hundred-million-dollar business."





And does the demand for heroes still outpace that of the movie's plot?

Will people in the future choose to watch a hero over a content of the movie?

In our subsequent blog, we shall talk about.
