talented actor parents who got a break in a
film by a director whose last film was a box-
office disaster. It was made with a huge
budget but even though it boasted of big
stars, the movie could not recover the cost.
The director is known for his eccentric
ways, which includes replacing his stars
after shooting with them, firing his entire
team of assistant directors and extending
his shoots by lengthy amounts of time, and
it happened with the new film too.
It's a love story set against the mountains of
the north but the film has already gone over
budget because of escalating production
values and the director's confusion. Because
of this, the newbie's film has been not only
delayed but her mentor-director has strictly
forbidden her to sign any films before his
film releases so that her fresh appeal is not
lost thus making the newcomer's career
come to a standstill as she has no other film
in hand.
The newbie's talent management agency
was approached by an actress and her
producer brother to act in their home
production. Discussions had begun and
everything was moving in a positive
direction till the director (of her debut film)
came to hear that the newbie was
interested. All hell broke loose as he cajoled,
coaxed and cried till he finally managed to
dissuade her from signing it. His argument
was that his film should be her first priority
as he had spotted her talent first. The
director was upset as he felt the senior
actress was trying to grab credit by claiming
that she was grooming the newbie. Also, he
was anxious if his protg completed the
second film and released it before his movie,
the director couldn't release his film as her
debut film. His ego was hurt as he wanted
the world to know that he was the one who
was showcasing his actress. The young girl
who is known to be quite a firebrand has
quietly submitted to his demands and
agreed to fall in line with whatever
instructions he is doling out to her.
It's sad because the young girl's career is
now stuck for a year with her mentor's
release much later. All her rivals' films will get
complete before her first film and release
before her but who will make her stubborn
director realize that?
