Balaji gets ready to close down; HG bears the brunt

End of Good Times

The buzz in film circles is that the head of what was until recently a big production outfit is so determined to cut back on"even wrap up"all film production ventures that she's slashed the fees of the director and actors working on her current project. This film could well be the last one coming out of the once-active studio, which will likely focus strictly on television projects from now on.

Major box-office failures, a loss of faith in her CEO, and the overall fickle nature of the film business have reportedly caused this change of heart for the boss lady who used to have a reputation for taking on risky projects. The new film, a potentially exciting project, is more than halfway into production, but the studio chief has asked that budgets be scaled back. It was too late to cancel a foreign shooting schedule that had been planned, but the director and his leading man have been known to take a pay cut in order to keep the landing cost of the film reasonable.

Crew members have been noticing significant changes on the set, including the deteriorating quality of unit meals and frugal spending on day-to- day shoot requirements. The pressure is on and the message is clear. The studio won't survive another failure.

Drashti didi's show is by Ekta too? I am planning to watch it to find out why Didi is not getting chance in BW even now inspite of her insane stardom and talentless Pakistanis being kicked out of BW.😲The nation wants to know!😛

Yes Drashti didi's show is by Ekta .. Actually problem is Didi is waiting for mega budget films maybe nothing like other actresses who does films opposite khans or Roshan.
Anyways didi's show will get high trps and win star parivaar awards too. Pakistani actors toh bhul jao, kaha drashti didi and kaha woh, do they even have an iota of talent to even work with Ekta Maiya ? No
