The current state of the Telugu Film Industry is forcing the producers to make drastic changes to their remuneration models. While the remunerations for star heroes will still remain the same, the money given to small and medium-range heroes will go through a shift.
The Producers Council and the Guild have been conducting various meetings over the last few months about OTT releases, remunerations, ticket rates, and so on. In addition to that, they have also been discussing the remuneration given to small and medium-range heroes.
At the present moment, the Telugu Film Industry is in a sort of confused state. While some movies are doing very well at the box office, some are crashing on the opening day itself. In view of this, the producers are informing these heroes that they will no longer enjoy fancy advances and remunerations.
Just to take an example, Naga Chaitanya’s Thank You crashed at the box office on the opening day itself. Whereas, Kalyan Ram’s Bimbisara achieved breakeven in just 3 days. It has become very clear now that only good content will prevail.
As a result, the producers have come to a conclusion that the small and medium-range heroes will be given remunerations based on the percentage of the film’s business. This means that the remuneration will be decided only after the theatrical run.
