Exhibitors and distributors should not interfere in Hero’s remuneration

All these developments took place just before the release of Hari Hara Veera Mallu, starring AP Deputy Chief Minister and Power Star Pawan Kalyan, which made it political because of a few reports. The names of some of the Telugu producers who are ruling the distribution of the film in the Telugu states have come out. There has been a debate in Filmnagar that they are the ones who are leading the story by calling for a shutdown of theaters. Quickly, this news spread in film circles that four big producers are behind this issue. The issue went to the Andhra Pradesh government, which stated that the issue will be taken seriously, and it asked for a probe into the entire scenario of the shutdown of theaters and other developments. Andhra Pradesh Cinematography Minister Kandula Durgesh has ordered an inquiry into the decision taken by exhibitors and distributors to close down theaters on June 1. There are also reports in the media that Durgesh will come to Hyderabad and meet big producers like Dil Raju and Suresh Babu. However, the Telugu States theater strike has been called off, as the Telugu Film Chamber responded to the controversy. On May 24, the producers held a meeting with distributors and exhibitors at the Hyderabad Film Chamber. On this occasion, the problems and difficulties of the theater owners were discussed. There will be no theater shutdown on June 1, and the theaters will function as usual on that day.

The Exhibitors/Distributor and Producer war has taken an ugly form in recent times. A Few Distributors also conducted a press meet, officially lambasting the attitude of Actors and Producers. A strike was also called recently to discuss the issues of the theatres, which caused a major controversy.

But one thing which looked odd was these exhibitors deciding the remuneration of the Actors. They objected to Actors receiving huge remuneration, which felt completely unnecessary. The remunerations are offered by Producers, which depend on the markets of the Actors. Sometimes these also involve factors of the OTT and satellite markets apart from theatricals.

So, the Exhibitors and Distributors must have discussions with the Producers and also question their bargaining attitude in quoting higher prices, but not deciding the remuneration of the Actors and budgets of the films.
