Who is the ring master in cinema making? That is the director. He is also cajoled as reel master. When a director screams and slaps artists who eat reels that is negative by taking more takes for a particular he himself is the big eater of negative in this case we are explaining to you.

Director Om Prakash Rao is setting record by consuming 2 lakh feet of negative for the film ‘Kiran Bedi’ starring Malashri in the title. This would amount to lab amount of Rs.1 crore for producer Ramu. But what is the waste out of 2 lakh feet shot for the film. 1 lakh and 86000 is the waste as only a maximum of 14000 is kept for screening in the theatres.

Bappare Bappa! What one should say for this kind of director Om Prakash Rao? The wastage is given to a person like Girish Kasaravalli he would make six films shooting a maximum of 30 to 35000 feet for his films. What would be in return for persons like Ramu? Many awards and the fame increases at the national and international level.

Humble producer Ramu explaining this tale of woes disclosed that in those days Om Prakash Rao for ‘AK 47’ shot one lakh 60000 feet for the film for 13500 final stay in the projector rooms.
