The most challenging job in making a movie belongs to the producer—especially nowadays, where the producer’s words do not have any value whatsoever. Neither the director nor the star cast thinks about the problems faced by the producers. For them, their payments are to be fulfilled on time. If the result is negative, then all the loss will be borne by producers. On the other hand, if the movie becomes a blockbuster, the director and stars of the film will take away all the glory while the one who had bankrolled remains a mute spectator without much recognition. After the arrival of the pandemic, the situation has gotten much worse for the producers.
While it has become an issue to complete movies in the Corona period, all the technicians of 24 crafts’ demand for pay raises have added heavy weights to the already existing burden. Add the hefty remunerations of heroes, heroines, and directors to it. Facing the weight of the production of movies, the producers guild is said to have taken a shocking decision in their recent meeting. If the reports are to be believed, the guild has decided to temporarily stop cinema shootings. They are planning to discuss various issues which have become a burden in filmmaking. They have decided to start the movies once all these are ironed out. This decision might soon come into effect, says the Tollywood sources.
