This is how the film industry works—some people try to make as much money as possible when they get the chance.
At present, the manager of a popular young heroine is reportedly taking full advantage of her growing craze.
Interestingly, he is not even a full-time professional manager. He originally worked in the production department and had earlier managed a few small-time actresses.
When this heroine entered Tollywood, he reportedly approached her and promised to help her build industry contacts and take care of all her professional matters.
It is not clear how much he actually helped her career. However, he is now allegedly making good money by using her name and growing popularity.
The dealings are apparently not handled directly by him. He manages two or three heroines and has appointed an assistant manager under him.
It is this assistant who is reportedly collecting commissions at every stage—from arranging ribbon-cutting events at shops to allotting dates for films.
As a result, the heroine’s earnings have reportedly become like an ice cube kept in the palm: a major portion disappears before the money reaches her.
Producers and shop owners may be paying good amounts, but very little is reportedly left by the time the payment reaches the actress.
The heroine is currently working in a film starring a major mid-range hero. That project has helped her gain more opportunities in Telugu cinema and increased her income.
All her professional assignments and financial dealings are currently being handled by this manager.
Recently, the team of a young hero reportedly approached him to secure the actress’s dates for a film. He allegedly demanded a shocking 40 percent commission to allot the dates immediately.
The big question is whether the heroine is aware of what is happening behind her back.
