Watch: The Sad Story Of Krishnanagar Junior Artists

M9 News journalist Nishant sat with a junior artist to understand the harsh realities of life in Krishnanagar. Chandu shared his story, explaining how many hopeful artists arrive with dreams, only to face tough conditions and morale-crushing experiences on film sets.

Chandu revealed that junior artists are severely underpaid and often ill-treated during shoots. Contrary to popular belief, big films and production houses do not always provide better pay or meals. Small films, he added, often treat artists more respectfully and provide proper food.

The discussion covered poor pay, shabby living conditions, and the process of being recruited by agents. Chandu also highlighted how female junior artists face challenges, how actors behave on sets, and the restrictions on taking photos with film stars.

Chandu shared a protest by junior artists on the Hari Hara Veera mallu shoot, demanding better food. Claiming himself as a devoted NTR fan, he recalled his excitement about participating in the Day 1 shoot and the experiences that followed.

The complete interview offers a moving and eye-opening story about the struggles of junior artists in Krishnanagar, shedding light on the unseen hardships behind glamorous film sets and the reality of life for supporting actors.
