The Mollywood super star, Mohanlal is open about his disagreement when the promos of 'Tezz' got released. He found that he had lesser screen presence compared to the other actors in the movie and he took out the social networking to comment his views and there has been a quite lot of fans supporting the star. Although the role of Mohanlal in the movie is more close to a guest role or a cameo, still he feels that he has been shown in a shorter length of time than what is normal.
The promos mainly have Ajay Devgn and Anil Kapoor in most of the scenes in promos. But on the other hand production house confirms that Mohanlal has been paid ransom for his presence and the signing amount is close to the full fledged remuneration that he receives for a Malayalam movie.
Clearing the air, Suresh Krishna, Priyadarshan's associate explains, "Mohanlal has just six scenes in this film. He shot for seven days - two days in London, two days in Birmingham and three days in Mumbai. So you can imagine the length of the role. Out of the 2,500 prints of the film, only 10 will be screened in Kerala. Incidentally, this is a film that is being released in States like Punjab and Haryana where people know Bollywood stars better than they do any other south star. So, it might not be too easy to market a Bollywood movie with Mohanlal."
A source close to the production house confirmed his million rupee round up and said "He was paid just around the same amount that he usually takes home for a full-fledged Malayalam film. From industry reports, that amount goes into crores. You do the math."
But the producers seems to have taken the uproar seriously and are planning to release the next promo with equal importance to Mohanlal and Ajay Devgn, so we can wait in peace for the next promo to be released.
