Remuneration of film stars is a major headache for producers; About actors’ remuneration; Vijay Babu

Actors’ remuneration is still a topic of discussion in the film world. Similarly, the budget of the actresses and the remuneration of the stars are discussed not only in the film industry but also among the audience. There are many reports that even current actresses are being paid crores for guest appearances. Many producers have said that taking a reward of crores is not enough for Malayalam cinema, where the business is relatively small. Actor-producer Vijay Babu is now open about the actors’ remuneration. One of the main problems that are causing major headaches for producers is the remuneration of actresses and actors. Vijay Babu revealed this through an interview given to a YouTube channel. The actor says that nothing can be done about the results of the stars. Satellite Boom came in 2010. Before that, actors in Kerala used to get a very normal salary.

With the satellite boom comes the revenue stream. Then, according to the star value, the actresses and actors increased the remuneration. After the satellite boom came OTT. Along with that another stream came and that is box office. Saying that there is so much satellite or OTT, the salary is being increased again. But now both are abandoned. This high salary is standing. But OTT and satellite kicked in. It is going to a terrible problem now, says Vijay Babu about what is likely to happen in Malayalam cinema. What is going to happen now is that there will be no medium and small size films. Good stories and medium size films were the identity of Malayalam. That identity is slowly changing. Now Malayalam will compete with Pan Indian films. super hit movies, which was in the past in Tamil and Telugu, is making its way to mass masala films. Have the same theater as those films. Earlier, Vijay, Ajith, Rajini sir and Allu Arjun movies were releasing like Malayalam movies.

Not after Baahubali. Only one Malayalam film has been released this Christmas. After the rains, fasting, school and school opening, there is a thirty-eight week period. This week, after all the Ajith and Vijay films, we have been getting thirty two. 200 images should be uploaded this week. 225 films were released last year. After an influence of Pan South and Pan Indian films, Malayalam cinema gets twenty five weeks. Ten films are released in a week. Even the films shot before Covid are still to be released. Don’t release this, seventy percent of the films released last year did not earn even ten percent of the production cost. Then there are twenty commercial heroes and heroines in Malayalam. They make four films in a year. Producer Vijay Babu has indicated that ’80 will not be a movie then’, and in such a way, the production in the film industry will face many crises.
