Normally, directors aren't used to giving detailed expense statements about how they spend money or why they want it. They also are used to instant gratification- the moment they ask for something, it arrives. But things are different with corporate film-producers.
The directors are being forced to come up with an airtight budget. They'll have to submit detailed bills and seek board approval for big expenses. If the board chooses to reject it, the director might as well forget the idea. Such discipline-measures are radically new and unheard of in the film industry until now.
Though some directors are happy with these steps, many, especially senior ones who are used to bossing around, aren't happy with it.
Meanwhile, Prakashraj, the man who is generally assumed to be the one who popularized the concept of corporate production houses, seems to have his own problems with the company that is producing films with him.
He isn't happy with the fact that they aren't letting him intervene in the film's business plans.
