Earning fame is a good thing, but being too greedy can ruin it. This seems to be the case with a young director who became famous nationwide recently with his superhit film.
This young director who gained fame with a blockbuster film is now the center of attention for Tollywood producers seeking collaboration on new projects. However, the problem arises with the remuneration he’s asking for directing a film—a staggering Rs 50 Cr. And that’s not all; he also wants a share in the profits. Such lofty demands following just one successful movie could potentially lead to disappointment.
A producer expressed disbelief, comparing the director to Rajamouli but noting a vast disparity in their levels of achievement. Rajamouli, known for blockbusters like “Baahubali,” ensures an equal distribution of profits between himself and the producer, a practice this young director seems to overlook with his unreasonable demands. “This young director thinks he’s like Rajamouli, but he’s not at that level. Rajamouli himself ensures that profits are shared equally between him and the producer. But this young director’s demands are unreasonable,” producer commented.
Even esteemed directors like Trivikram, who have contributed immensely to the industry, do not demand such exorbitant fees. It’s surprising to witness the expectations of this young director, who may be harboring ambitions to earn over Rs 100 Cr with his upcoming films.
While he gained fame with one successful film, it’s important for him to consider various factors before demanding such high remuneration. If he wants to sustain his career in the industry for a long time, he should be mindful of his demands and focus on delivering quality work.Ultimately, striking a balance between ambition and humility is key for the long-term success and reputation of any filmmaker, especially in an industry as competitive and dynamic as Tollywood.
