Rising production costs not connected to star salaries: Mammootty
Malayalam super star Mammootty is not going to agree if you argue that super stars' huge salaries are responsible for the rise in the production cost of films!
�
In a recent interview to a leading film magazine, the megastar said: "The increase in cost of production in star films is in no way connected to star salaries. Though I fully endorse the producers' association’s resolution that cost of films should be pegged around Rs. 3.50 crore, the rise in cost is due to the subject."
Mammootty also pointed out that though he got a reasonable salary for Pazhassi Raja, the cost of production shot up due to the subject, which was a period drama.
"Let me make it clear that just because of my salary, the cost of my films has not gone up. I believe cost of production can be curtailed if proper script and planning is made before the shoot, the number of days for shoot and the film rolls needed are worked out in a professional manner," the veteran asserted.
