These days Producers and directors are not making money in the film Industry. It is the film stars who are making money. The movies are revolving around the heroes and then some directors.
Actos like NTR, Mahesh, Prabhas, Pawan Kalyan and Chiranjeevi can dictate terms and they wokr according to their own conditions. But there are directors like Rajamouli who make some of them dance to their tunes.
Movies like Baahubali and RRR gave money to the directors and stars. The producers could make good money. RRR was entirely in the hands of Rajamouli.
Now Producer is not the man who calls the shots. It all depends on the stars and also the directors.
In the case of a high-profile director, a large portion goes to the lead actor, a smaller amount goes to the director, a little more goes to the writer, and the producer is the last to receive the share.
It is difficult to negotiate with actors compared to distributors. Then we can come to the conclusion that it all depends on the combinations and permutations while making a movie.
Sometimes the producer has the advantage in sharing the profits and many times the others will get the major share.
There is a talk that the RRR producer did not make much of a profit and most of it was grabbed by Rajamoli and the stars.
