Mr. Bachchan has been a major disaster in recent times, adding another flop to Ravi Teja's record. As a result, the producer has suffered significant losses.
It appears that director Harish Shankar has stepped forward to take responsibility for the losses by returning six crores from his remuneration. This is a substantial amount, estimated to be half of Harish's total pay.
Reportedly, Harish has already returned two crores and asked the producer to deduct the remaining Rs 4 crore from his next project's remuneration under their banner.
Harish’s actions are being praised as the right response for a director when a film doesn’t perform well. It's a commendable gesture.
Industry insiders are now questioning whether Ravi Teja, the lead actor, who is said to have been paid a substantial sum of Rs 25 crore, will follow suit and return some of his fee.
Ravi Teja has delivered several flops in the past, but there has never been any talk of him returning money.
What Harish has done is indeed admirable. It can be said that Harish has set a better example.
