He is a young director who has garnered significant attention, and with a recent blockbuster under his belt, he quickly rose to fame.
Known for having his own conditions, rules, and regulations when making a film, he is now in a position to dictate terms to his producers.
Recently, he was approached to direct a promo for an OTT show, but he asked for a remuneration of Rs 2 crores.
This led the OTT producers to back off and approach a senior director for the same project. However, they didn't like the idea proposed by the second director. Eventually, they decided to move forward with an animation at a lower budget.
Many believe that the young director quoted such a high fee, knowing that the OTT platform wouldn't be able to meet his demand, thus allowing him to avoid the project.
Given that he is focused on making pan-Indian films with budgets in the hundreds of crores, directing a promo for a regional OTT platform likely didn’t appeal to him.
