Producers Guild warns stars amid Don 3 row, citing Akshay Khanna's case as an example.
Without naming anyone, the Guild has expressed concern over stars, directors, and technicians who back out of their commitments just before shooting begins.
The statement released by the Producers Guild mentioned that they have been receiving such complaints continuously from their member production houses.
These complaints are adversely affecting film production and creating uncertainty in the entire process.
The organization believes that the decision to leave a project at the last minute harms not just the producer but the entire industry.
The statement emphasized that such actions lead to direct financial losses amounting to crores of rupees.
Furthermore, it jeopardizes the livelihood of hundreds of technicians, crew members, and other employees associated with the film.
The film industry operates on mutual trust, professional conduct, and respect, so all parties should refrain from taking steps that weaken this system.
Although the Guild did not name anyone in its statement, it is being linked in the industry to two recent major controversies.
The first case is related to Ranveer Singh's alleged exit from 'Don 3', which garnered a lot of headlines.
The second case pertains to reports of actor Akshay Khanna leaving 'Drishyam 3'. According to reports, Akshay exited the project due to disagreements over fees and his role.
The Producers Guild clarified that it always supports a fair and independent business environment.
The organization has appealed to all parties to resolve any disagreements through mutual dialogue to maintain the industry's credibility.
For now, this warning has sparked a new debate in Bollywood, and it remains to be seen what impact it will have on the professional conduct of stars in the future.
