Actor Rishab Raj Chadha, who played Sam in Drishyam, had an apt answer to a post claiming that he wasn’t paid enough despite being the foundation on which the film is based. For the unversed, Rishab played Inspector Meera Deshmukh’s son Sam, who was killed in the 2015 film Drishyam. How Ajay Devgn’s character, Vijay Salgaonkar, manages to hide his body and outwit the police forms the crux of the three Drishyam films.
What was the post on Drishyam’s Sam, and how did the actor respond?
A post by a page titled Dear Crush Instagram had photos of Rishab Raj Chadha as Sam from Drishyam. The words on the text read, “Everyone is making money from Drishyam movies except Sam. Sam had just 15–20 minutes of screen time, but his character became one of the most memorable parts of the Drishyam film. But he didn’t earn any money.”
To this, Rishab commented, “Respect, recognition and acknowledgement beats money in ways one cannot imagine. Money follows my brother. Sometimes directly, sometimes because of it.” Here is the post:
