About
issues related to producers
I think the financiers should be held responsible for giving
finances to all the producers without gauging producer's ability
to make good films. Certain producers are making films without
chipping their personal money in. They are taking 100% finance
from the financiers and are completely depending on them.
Those producers are buying expensive cars and enjoying ultra
luxuries and accounting the money they spend on these luxuries
in the budget of the film. Some of these producers are not
paying full remuneration they agreed upon to the technicians
and artists. Likewise, certain artists and technicians are
not returning the advances they taken to producers in case
of non-fulfillment of the commitment.
About
non-cooperation (ban) on Teja
The AP Film Chamber of Commerce has taken a decision to extend
non-cooperation to Teja for dishonoring his commitment as
director to Dhairyam film. The producers of Dhairyam have
lodged complaint on Teja for over-budgeting and ill-treatment.
Mohan Babu said that certain people have personal grudge on
Teja and hence initiated the process of banning Teja. Dhairyam
producers should have complained to Film Chamber while the
production was going on in stead of doing it after the film
bombed. Banning a director on these grounds was never happened
before. Incidents like over-budgeting happened lots of times
and many producers reported it to Film Chamber. Film Chamber
never took any action before. Why did they single out Teja
and banned him. Does the Film Chamber have the guts to ban
all the people on whom the complaints were lodged? I wrote
a letter to Film Chamber to reconsider the decision. If things
continue like this, Telugu film industry would become mafia-oriented
industry like Bollywood. There is no unity in the film industry
at all.
Union
leaders are willing to go for a strike
The leaders of 24 crafts have come to me and told that they
would go for strike to support this issue on Teja. I can afford
to feed all those 5000 workers for 6 months on my own. What
about the small producers? I discouraged the leaders from
doing strike by keeping small producers in mind.
