Actor Kamal Haasan has been spotted choosing an economy flight for recent shoots. Not to be outdone, Anupam Kher’s preferred mode of transport now is the train. Meanwhile, Ravi Kishan has taken up cycling, citing fuel conservation as a key motive.
These choices have opened up a broader discussion about rising costs in the film industry. People are noticing how big stars, especially those based in Mumbai, are cutting down on shoot locations and overall travel expenses.
