Dia Mirza says she mortgaged her home to produce Bobby Jasoos and that she paid actress Vidya Balan one of her “best” career salaries. She credits this financial support as a key part of keeping the project moving and enabling the film to be completed, according to the outlets covering her remarks.
The reports provide additional context about how the film’s financing worked. Times of India says that support from financiers and studios was withdrawn at the last minute, prompting Mirza to secure a bank loan to cover costs. It also describes her decision to pay Vidya Balan her full salary as part of ensuring the production could proceed. NDTV focuses more narrowly on Mirza’s comments about the salary paid to Balan, without detailing the financing setbacks.
