The ascension of a young hero with a propensity for financial tricks has become the talk of the town in the glittering world of the entertainment business, where success is generally defined by box office statistics and star power. Despite a promising beginning with a popular picture that avoided regular cinema distribution, this actor's subsequent efforts have failed to reach a blockbuster level. The actual action, however, appears to be taking place behind the scenes.

The young actor appears to have mastered the art of bargaining, first agreeing to work for what appears to be a low wage. When the cameras start rolling, however, a new screenplay begins to play out. According to reports, the hero contacts producers, demanding cash loans ranging from 5 to 10 lakhs for a variety of reasons.

This unanticipated cost load builds up during the process, leaving the producers befuddled and financially drained. By the end of the production, the actor's debt to the producer is said to be in the range of 1.5 to 2 crores, a number he claims should be considered his remuneration.

The hero's financial shenanigans provide a difficult issue for the frustrated producers, who have already invested large sums in the project. While the films may not do as well as expected at the box office, the hero's astute financial manoeuvrings force the producers to accept anything he asks.
