Under the current circumstances, it is becoming extremely difficult for even a single film to see the arc lights. So few producers are turning towards OTTs in a helpless manner. The industry suffered huge losses in thousands of crores due to corona and lockdown.
Analysts feel though shootings will start in a few weeks, it is not advisable to spend whopping amounts. The producers who are in huge losses are now burdened with stars' remunerations. Few producers are requesting stars to understand their situation and are saying that they should invariably slash their remunerations.
Mahesh Babu, Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, NTR are drawing remuneration in crores, and Chiranjeevi's remuneration is not known as he is doing films under his own banner. Sources say Dil Raju, Suresh Babu, Allu Aravind are holding discussions over remuneration with the top stars. It has to be seen how far their discussions will bear fruit.
