Don’t they have agreement on pay package and other issues BEFORE commencing the shoot? If the cast agreed on payment of N3, ooo.oo, then they cannot complain…….. And can re-negotiate pay .

Funke, you need to be very careful because you are in different bracket now. You are just nobody but a role model who young aspiring stars are looking upon. I still couldn’t believe you did this but if it is actually you did it, you need to make amendment. If you give a JSS 1 student this kind of money, he/ she may just says thank you briefly or demand for more not to talk of grown up actors/actresses who have more responsibilities at home.
Funke, if you are not ready to make a movie, do not invite some casts as if you just asking them to pick something from the ground. These people are professionals and have family to take care of. #3000 is not only an insult but demeaning. You need to be fair and treat to all your colleagues right. You will also complain if you are in their shoes.
