Shedding light on the struggles of technicians in the film industry, Mahira Khan has chosen to stand up for the little guys. Joining the chorus of the entertainment fraternity speaking out on late payments, Mahira took to her Instagram story and reminded us of the scale of the problem.

“Imagine, if senior actors and hit maker directors go through this,” she said. “Just imagine what technicians go through.” The actress’ comment was a nod towards earlier callouts by director Mehreen Jabbar, veteran actor Mohammed Ahmed and other industry professionals like Ahmed Ali Butt, Ramsha Khan, Nadia Afgan, Yasir Hussain and Alizeh Shah.

With Mahira joining the chorus and reminding us how it might affect the people behind the camera, some accountability is needed from production houses.
