The industry is a strange place. Distributors play with theatre owners, who in turn play with the producers. Of course, there are times, when the order is reversed too. The producer on the other hand plays with the heroes, actors, technicians and their remunerations.
Talk in industry is that a director of a big film that released recently was given only half the remuneration. Though the amount was decided at Rs 32 to Rs 33 lakhs, the producer apparently paid him only half the amount and then jumped off.
Well, such acts are common in the industry. Also, the director is new and is considered to be a soft person. So, he did not take up the issue.
On the other hand, it is said that the producer cannot be blamed too as the film landed him in losses. So, talk in industry is that no one can be blamed in such a situation.
