A young hero became successful and prominent all of a sudden. Riding high on sudden buzz, he hiked his fee without stopping to think- was the craze really for him or for the film that clicked?
A producer, banking on that momentum, shelled out a hefty ten crores without hesitation. The film hit the screens.
Unfortunately, the content didn’t resonate, and audiences quickly lost interest and the film flopped. Well, the hero has nothing to lose.
Still, when you're a ten-crore-earning star, expectations follow.
Fans show up regardless — for the name, the hype, the opening weekend. But if that’s the case, why did this film end up earning just four lakhs in a key region?
A hero charging ten crores shouldn’t have a film underperform to such an extent.
But the blame doesn’t lie with the actors. It’s the producers who hand over such massive paychecks. If the gamble fails, it’s they who bear the brunt — while the hero walks away, waiting for another chance.
One accidental hit later, and a new set of producers line up, ready to risk the same fate.
