However, the ace producer Allu Aravind says heroes are not responsible for increased budgets.
Today at the teaser launch event of Kota Bommali PS, Allu Aravind, one of the major producers of Telugu cinema, trashed the notion of Heroes remuneration being the reason of increased cost in filmmaking.
Allu Aravind gave an answer that cost is the main reason why big banners like Geetha Arts are staying away or being cautious about making big-budget films. When asked about the issue of heroes’ pay raising the cost of movies, especially when there are many star heroes present in his family, Allu Aravind disagreed by saying it is the audience who want to see big budget films only.
