Hansal Mehta and Ram Madhvani
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta, who has made award-winning dramas like Shahid (2013) and Aligarh (2016), says it is his observation that when a movie fails, its ownership falls on the director, and when it's a success, the actor walks away with the accolades.'
"In my 22 years of making films, whether I like it or not, the director owns the failure and the actor owns the success," said Mehta at an event in Mumbai, which was also attended by Neerja (2016) director Ram Madhvani. Madhvani added to Mehta's point and spoke about how people end up throwing tantrums and fighting when it comes to ownership. He said, "I think that ownership is not given, it's taken."
