Talk: 'Most Telugu Producers are Illiterates'

One of the Tollywood writer-director-producers in a private conversation says the Telugu film industry is failing to produce good films, as most producers are not literate enough to understand scripts that have original content and are putting in money for time tested subjects.

Our producers mostly give money for subjects that ensure them good returns and are skeptical to fund a script that is different from the rest. I also feel that most of them are illiterate to understand good subjects," he said.

"The basic problem is that audiences also see bad films and hence producers prefer to give money for rip offs or stories that have been used before and can land hits. It is such a farce that we shout against piracy when we are operating on rip offs" he added.

"In recent years, everyone has seen that we can produce commercially successful films which need not follow the time-tested formulas," he said. "More and more producers should support such ventures for the good of the industry." The man who made a couple of small budget hit films on his own added that the film industry has to take some risks to support quality films.

May be the guy is sounding true but our money driven industry people will listen to this is a big question?
