Guess Who: Superstar Wants To Ghost Direct His Next Movie

Pinkvilla has published a blind item about a superstar who wants to ghost direct his next movie.

Superstars have lots riding on them. A few flops & they not only lose their right to demand sky high acting fees, but lucrative brand ensorsement deals as well. So they end up getting paranoid & see to it that every aspect of filmmaking has their seal of approval. While big shot filmmakers ensure that their participation is restricted, newbie directors don’t have such luck. To be fair, these superstars have spent decades in the business & know what they are talking about. Newbie directors shouldn’t break their head too much & think of it as a learning experience.

Take the case of this south remake – which turned out to be a huge hit last year. In fact it is the biggest hit of that actor’s career. This movie too had the director of the original telugu film directing it. But the actor interfered in every aspect. But when the movie turned out to be a superhit, no one complained & everything was forgotten.

Blind Item

Would it be wrong to say that more often than not, male actors, or should we say, our top heroes, call the shots on a film set. From deciding the cast to changing the screenplay, they have active involvement in almost every department of filmmaking. Such is the case with this superstar, who’s known to be extremely nosy with his movies, too.

The superstar has delivered three back to back hits and is reigning high on the scoreboard of A-list heroes today. Now, he has been signed on as the lead for another big project – a remake of a very popular South film that hit the marquee last year itself. The studio that had bought the rights of the film were keen on making the film with another actor, also a superstar, who happens to be friends with our hero. But when the other actor couldn’t accommodate this project and instead liked another project that the studio was putting together, the banner decided to approach our star.

He, although was keen on taking the film up anyway, told them that his schedules are completely blocked but he would place this in between, only on one condition. Well, he wants to ghost direct the remake, just like he did with his last release that turned out to be a gamechanger for him. He doesn’t want this news to be out in the media and asked the studio to keep it all hush-hush. The studio agreed because they needed a star face for the project and is happy that the superstar immediately signed on the dotted line. But we don’t know if the director of the original film, who’s also mostly going to direct the remake, will be too happy with this clause! Uh oh!
