So, coming to the current news of a novel experiment to find an alternative to Big-Star-Big-Budget films… 6 low budgeted movies would be made by the Producers Association of Mollywood with prominent directors and writers between 2009-10. All the movies would be budgeted just around Rs 1.5 Crore.
Explaining the current film industry’s scenario and the current experiment… the office bearer of Producer forums G SURESH KUMAR said that depending solely on the Super-Star films doesn’t yield profits anymore as even their movies are biting the dust at the box office. To put the matter in to perspective, he said that only 4 out of the 54 films which came up in the year 2008 ended up as profit makers.
The details of the experiment are as follows…
Ace writer M T VASUDEVAN NAIR will script the 1st movie in the project list, which will be directed by popular director LAL JOSE. Director KAMAL will script and direct the 2nd of the projects while A K SAJAN will once again script for director SHAJI KAILAS for the 3rd venture. Scriptwriter-director RENJITH will be in charge of the 4th movie while the 5th project will be directed by RAFI McCARTIN for MHM productions. Producer SABU CHERIAN and director B UNNIKRISHNAN will unite for the 6th project of the series. Most of the directors who has agreed to do the projects will work on reduced remunerations while most of the movies will feature fresh faces in their cast lists.
INDIAN FILMDOM wishes them good luck and also encourages other film industries to emulate such novel ideas.
