Lower star fees, production costs make regional films more viable, offering better returns on their investments

- Lata Jha

Small and medium-scale boutique studios and independent film producers who primarily churned out low-budget Hindi movies are now turning to regional languages for bigger gains.

Producers like Anand Pandit and Vinod Bhanushali and Saregama-owned Yoodlee Films are among those betting on Gujarati, Punjabi and Marathi movies, where the star fee is lower and the movie-going culture is robust.

Actor John Abraham, who produced the Marathi film Savita Damodar Paranjpe, has expressed interest in backing more films in regional languages.
