Varun Grover is a famous screenwriter who is a lyricist known for projects such as ‘All India Rank’, ‘Sandeep and Pinky absconding’, ‘Masaan’ and much more. He is also known for being a stand-up comedian and during the onset of his career, he also worked for television shows. He worked as a script writer on ‘Oye’! it is Friday! ‘Which was hosted by Farhan Akhtar. Then he realized a salary inequality between an actor and writer.He said that during an interview with Lallantop, “After Ranveer Vinay and Coun, I joined Farhan Saab’s Oi! It’s Friday! It was during my time that I realized that I realized that there was not much value for the material that I was writing for him.” This was also the first time I came to know what the actor does such shows. Even though I had an idea before that, I did not consider the difference to be so big. But once I came to know about it – maybe this is false information and someone asked me only to incite me; I could not say certainly – I realized that the difference was very big. He was being paid Rs 45 lakh for each episode, while I was earning just Rs 45,000. ,He further stated that despite the fact that he was paid so low that the show was put on a huge budget, the set was so extraordinary. Props on the set spent the amount that it was being paid. He said, “It was my content, and he was just distributing the lines. (Although he is paying 100 times more) was not 100 times in the price. The show was shot in Yash Raj Studio. It was a really good, expensive set. Did I stole one of the twinkling balls that were hanging there every day, my daily 45,000 RS. This was the first time I saw such a dazzling set. By then, I had also lost interest in writing stand-up for television, especially since the censorship started. ,In the same interview, Varun also clarified about his remarks, ‘No’ who he dropped Sandeep Reddy Vanga after ‘animal’ on Anurag Kashyap’s post.
