The cold war between the Telugu film producers and actors is reaching a new high. The producers council which met a couple of days ago has decided to impose heavy cuts in the remuneration of actors in a bid to prevent escalating production cost of the film.
In this regard, the producers are openly talking about how some actors are harassing producers and causing tremendous inconvenience not only to them, but also to the fellow actors. One of the producers told this correspondent that comedian Brahmanandam, these days, has turned a villain for the producers. “He has become so important for a film that many a time, shooting schedules had to be cancelled for his sake. There were several instances of Brahmanandam making young heroes to wait for hours just for a five minute shot,” he lamented.
The producers council is learnt to have decided to impose a 50 per cent cut in the remuneration of comedians, so that they would mend their ways and fall in line. They are also planning to encourage new talent, rather than depending on the old faces.
