Guess Who? Filmmaker father gets his actor son's film delayed, trade pundits think it's a bad move
Guess the actor, the filmmaker father and the director being referred in the blind.
A blind carried by a leading magazine in their weekly column, has caught our attention. While it was a pretty easy guess for us, do tell us in the comments below, who do you think is being referred to in it.
Here's what the blind reads:
So it turns out that the veteran filmmaker father of a top male star has thrown a wrench in the plans of a young director who was looking forward to starting his new film with the heartthrob star. The over-cautious father has sent the director back to the drawing board, insistent that he return only once the script is in better and tighter shape.
The film, a real life story about an inspiring figure, was meant to go into production just weeks from now, but the star’s father has said the shoot will have to be pushed back. This, insiders are saying, has proven to be a setback for the director who was looking forward to diving into the shoot and taking his mind off the messy controversy he got embroiled in recently. The delay will also likely hurt the film’s producers who had finances and schedules all locked in anticipation. But, trade pundits are saying the person most likely to be affected is the star himself who hasn’t had a release since earlier this year. One of the most talented young stars in the business, the actor has been dogged by health problems and personal issues lately, and many say he needs to be working more frequently. One film every year-and-a-half is hardly a good pace for an actor in his prime.
However, there is an opinion among industrywaalas that the star’s father has taken the right decision. The film is likely to release in October. Given what a bad year it has been for movies, you can never be too careful.
