YouTuber‑actor Bhuvan Bam said film‑set catering follows a clear pecking order, likening it to a ‘full Kim Jong Un’ scenario, in an interview with ThePrint.
Bhuvan Bam, the popular Indian YouTuber and actor, told ThePrint that food distribution on film sets operates on a strict hierarchy. He explained that senior actors and key crew members are served first, while junior staff often receive leftovers or wait for their turn. Bam likened the situation to a “full Kim Jong Un” environment, suggesting that the power dynamics extend even to the kitchen.
The comment came during a candid conversation about the behind‑the‑scenes realities of the entertainment industry. Bam highlighted that the hierarchy influences not just screen time but also basic amenities such as meals, reinforcing the broader power structures on set.
Industry insiders say such practices are common, though they are rarely discussed publicly. Bam’s remarks shed light on an aspect of production life that many viewers are unaware of, prompting calls for more equitable treatment of all crew members.
ThePrint did not disclose the specific film or shooting location where Bam observed these practices, focusing instead on his general observations across multiple projects.
Bam’s statement adds to ongoing conversations about workplace fairness in Bollywood and the Indian digital content space, where rapid growth has brought both opportunities and challenges for the workforce.
