Intentions of making low budget movies are definitely good. As far as I understand, this is not a stringent rule as such. Exceptions are definitely allowed.

As long as people are happy watching pirated copies of movies, it is hard to make box office hits. That is what, Kerala Cafe, Palerimaanikkam, loud speaker and many other good movies of this year proved. In this scenario of people not going to the theatres to watch movies, I feel cost cutting is the only way to save this industry.

So if a director has a new project lined up that is going to cost 6 crores and his producer ready for the risk,will these associations come in and make the producer not invest 6 crores?

I mean its the producer’s risk.Why should any association get involved in that?An absolute ceiling on the amount of money that a guy can invest?Is this cucumber city?
