Cost of production of Films has gone up alarmingly in the recent past few years and most of the producers able to land in a safe zone only when the film succeeds, which is a very rare phenomenon.
The culture of caravans is now seen as a dangerous trend in Tollywood. The scenario of all principal actors including Star Heroes and Comedians demanding caravans, has turned into a big headache for producers. Some artistes are very particular about mentioning a clause about caravans in the agreement.
Until 90s, even star heroes didn’t used to demand caravans to save money and time for filmmakers.
But, even petty actors of these days are demanding caravans as they consider it as a matter of pride. Huge money is being spent on caravans which doesn’t translate on screen for the viewers. Presence of too many caravans on the location also delays the shoot most of the times.
Producers are planning to implement few cost cutting measures but no one is dares fearing a rift with top artistes.
