He is a renowned producer. Nearly a decade later, he has begun producing films. He is producing a mega film with a top star.
The film was launched last year. It still is not able to complete many portions. The hero is commencing the schedules as and when he wishes and gets time from his other priorities.
The producer waited for many months and months to talk to him about the production getting delayed. Finally, one day he gathered courage and left a message to him.
“Believing in you, I am investing Rs 150 crore in this project. Show mercy on me,” he left a message on these lines.
The producer was asked to come to see the hero.
“Don’t tell me the cock and bull stories that you are investing money on me. You are putting money on the project believing in the story. If the script doesn’t demand Rs 150 Cr, would you waste money just like that? Never talk in such manner in front of me,” the star gave a counter to the senior producer.
Even after that, the hero has not given the film his call sheets. That is the plight of our producers in the film industry when you work with top stars.
As Puri Jagannadh once famously said, “if they pinch you, bear it, don’t shout.”
