Gaurav Dhingra Blasts Eros for 16-Year Film Delay!
19 Sep
Summary
- Gaurav Dhingra criticizes Eros for delaying the 2010 film 'Peddlers' for 16 years.
- Mid-sized films have vanished due to declining satellite rights revenue.
- Dhingra aims to revive mid-sized films by investing around Rs. 20 crores.
Gaurav Dhingra has expressed frustration with Eros International, questioning their continued delay in releasing the 2010 film 'Peddlers,' which stars Gulshan Devaiah and Nimrat Kaur. The film's protracted absence from the market, now at 16 years, has deeply affected Dhingra and the production team.
Dhingra, now leading Jungle Book Studios and distributing the Konyak-language film 'Angh,' also commented on the decline of mid-sized Hindi films. He cited the sharp drop in satellite rights revenue as a primary cause, noting that what once fetched crores now only garners Rs. 10 lakhs.
This shift has led to a market dominated by either very small or big-budget productions, with mid-sized content-rich films becoming scarce. Dhingra aims to fill this gap by focusing on producing such films with a more modest budget of approximately Rs. 20 crores.
