Do
the horoscope determine a hit? |
|
|
Is
it all in the stars? Success or failure,
is it in your horoscope? Well, that’s
what Kodambakkam producers think, no matter
what religion they belong to. Numerology,
face reading and astrology experts are ruling
the roost.
A cautious producer first listens to the
story told by a director. If the story is
good and suitable to box-office norms, the
producer calls for a horoscope of the director.
The expert reads it and if all the permutations
and combinations are right, the director
is booked. Then the heroes and heroines
are determined and their horoscopes read
and interpreted. It doesn’t matter
if the hero has given a string of hits.
How is his future? —Well, that ought
to be considered. |

|
| The
actors themselves are superstitious, even the so-called
atheists of the industry. They have there own sentiments
to follow. |
|
Good
story, good music, good talents do not matter
at all. Now why are the producers so superstitious?
It is not only the producers but also the
artistes and technicians who are superstitious.
As if to confirm their fears, sometimes
events too happen in coincidental ways.
Theirs fears and beliefs are understandable.
Crores of rupees are invested and nothing
in the industry is predictable. By the time
a movie is release, the taste may have changed.
By the time a movie is released, someone
else would have come out with a similar
theme |
|
|
|
| |
By
the time a movie is released, an artiste
may have lost his market. And then there
are the heroines who become depressed or
fall sick thus putting the producer into
jeopardy.
The producer who dumps crores of rupees
has to hand so many unpredictable factors.
What better way than to consult the stars
of the stars and the directors!. |
