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.
