Let us tell you that Shaan has worked with famous Bollywood actresses like Jacqueline Fernandez and Shraddha Kapoor in his 20-year career. However, he seems to be very angry about the recent statement made by Anurag Kashyap. Shaan retorted that Anurag’s approach is incomprehensible and his films do not require expensive makeup and styling. On the ‘Fitte Muh With Sik and Jas’ YouTube channel, Shaan Mutthathil also commented on his substantial earnings.

Shaan Mutthathil compared his high salary to the salaries of doctors and pilots, noting the disparity. He suggested that Anurag Kashyap’s comments may have stemmed from jealousy, highlighting that seasoned professionals like him in the industry often earn more than other key roles such as managers and assistant directors. Shaan pointed out that not everyone in the industry gets high fees, only a select few earn between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 2 lakh.

Shaan Mutthathil mentioned that if he requested such a fee for an Anurag Kashyap film, he would likely not be hired, as Kashyap’s films usually do not require extensive makeup and styling. Shaan emphasized that he is not making a film that has a chiffon sari and blow-dried hair. I never got a call from him, because I understand that his films do not need makeup and hair. His films are set in some village with a heroine in a Rs 250 cotton sari who wakes up and cries.’
