M9 News interviewed People Media Factory Producer TG Vishwa Prasad ahead of the release of his film “Eagle,” starring Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja on February 9th.
During the interview, Vishwa Prasad candidly addressed the issue of rampant corruption in the film industry and outlined steps he is taking to combat it.
He emphasized, “Many times, union dramas occur in the film industry, but they seldom benefit actual union members. Instead, the industry’s mafia elements often exploit these situations. However, we have successfully eradicated such practices.”
Discussing corruption further, he stated, “Corruption is a significant concern in the industry, impacting every production company. The extent of its impact varies, but we strive to keep it within manageable levels.”
Vishwa Prasad elaborated on the types of corruption, stating, “There are three types of corruption. First comes price corruption which is usually about 10-30%. Then comes quantity corruption and then quality corruption. For real-time example, a caravan comes up with a corruption of 500 rs. We ignore it since it is manageable. If there are 4-6 vehicles but 10 are being reported.”
He continued, “The third level is where quality corruption happens when I am not provided with a caravan that is in good condition. Such caravans spoil the mood of the stars and actors which in turn affects their performance and overall quality of the film. This is a real example and I am not making it up.”
He concluded, “This example highlights how corruption detrimentally affects the overall movie experience.”
