If producers want to make a sequel but the main star refuses, obviously the film won't be the kind of sequel people expect and it won't make as much money. So in a sense the "star-lead production model" can mean more originality. Of course, not all stars are as picky as certain stars..<br /><br />Since I first got the idea of this post, I've been noticing Bollywood banking more on ideas of the past and "brand" ideas. Compared to the Bollywood from around 6 years ago, there's so much more sequelizing going on. It's a worrying trend, for sure. veracioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437521137603205617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-45617182119814902212012-08-23T16:10:51.791+03:002012-08-23T16:10:51.791+03:00I was kind of innocent when it comes to thinking a...I was kind of innocent when it comes to thinking about money + cinema relations. I thought that good stories always won, that this was what every producer was looking for. <br />Now, with all those remakes being made in Bollywood, I think it's the first time that I really noticed that most of them only want a safe way to make money. Making money is not a problem <b>at all</b>, but it's sad that this insatiable need is preventing people of even trying to dare. Why would we need a Once Upon a Time In Mumbai 2? We could just let the story end where it did. Unfortunately, I don't think this sequel-remake fever will end so soon...<br /><br />I just hope that more Band Baaja Baaraats and Kahaanis will be made.Carol Juvenilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549704202763990421noreply@blogger.com
