If a director gains a bad reputation for overspending, producers become cautious. They might take the risk once or twice, but not repeatedly.
A young director, like many from this generation, hires top technicians to elevate his films. While he utilizes their expertise and takes the credit, the financial burden falls on the producers. This particular director is known for extravagant spending.
Despite this, producers are still willing to collaborate with him, provided he chooses a reasonable lead actor and mid-range technicians. However, no suitable hero is available at the moment. The director is open to working with a senior hero, and the actor has agreed, but producers remain hesitant.
Even though their previous collaboration was a blockbuster, the producers saw minimal profits.
The combined remuneration of the hero and director alone amounts to ₹100 crores, with another ₹100 crores required for production, bringing the total budget to a staggering ₹200 crores. As a result, producers are now exploring alternative combinations.
Directors should prioritize creativity over extravagance, proving their worth without burdening producers. Only then can the industry sustain itself.
