Distributors who suffered losses from the director's previous films could also become a hurdle, raising doubts over the film's release.

There is this maverick director whose films are popular for the characterisation of the hero, but then, the director lost his Midas touch years ago and is making only duds. In between, some fire and ice is kicking in, but nothing is turning into something golden at the box office. Reacting to his latest movie, which is struggling to release after some time, producer Dheeraj Moglinieni stated some interesting facts.

“If he has to release the film, he has to first clear the finances that were taken for the film, but with the OTT deal not at all done, the film will not be able to do that. If they clear the finances at all, then the distributors who made losses with his previous film will become a hurdle for the release. If at all he decides to give the film freely to the distributors, then he has to choose between the distributors, the ones that lost money a couple of films ago or the ones that lost with the last outing. On the whole, the film might never see the light,” says Dheeraj Mogilineni, responding about the director’s film that was wrapped months ago and ready with final copy also.

Sometimes, when films are not working, it’s better to make some small-budget movies and prove mettle before striking big again. However, with the intention of making quick bucks, the directors made costly mistakes, and they are now affecting his career big time. Sorry, they have already affected him, and the aftereffects are also coming up now.
