7. Production houses
1. Yash Raj Films
Notable flicks: Deewar, Mohabbatein,
Veer-Zaara, DDLJ, Darr, Dhoom 3,
Mardaani
Founded by Yash Chopra, YRF is one of
the most successful production houses in
the country. It has made superstars out
of everyday dudes. Also, it keeps rolling
out a Dhoom movie every once in a while
to keep Uday Chopra's acting career
alive.

9. 2. UTV Motion Pictures Ltd
Notable flicks: Swades, Rang De
Basanti, Life In A... Metro,
Fashion, Kaminey, Barfi, Chennai
Express, 2 States
Founded by Ronnie Screwvala, this
production house is currently headed
by Siddharth Roy Kapur who was
the marketing mind behind Rang De
Basanti. This man sure knows how to
market his films... and himself (he's
married to Vidya Balan.*sigh*).

11. 3. Red Chillies Entertainment
Notable flicks: Main Hoon Na, Om
Shanti Om, Ra.One, Chennai
Express, Happy New Year
We all love SRK and so does SRK,
so much so that he gifted himself
Red Chillies, a production house
that churns out films with only him
in the lead

13. 9. Vishesh Film
Notable flicks: Murder1,2, Tum
Mile, Aashiqui 2
Mukesh Bhatt launched this
company in 1988 and later got his
brother Mahesh Bhatt on board.
Other than Emraan Hashmi, they've
also given Indian cinema some
super duper hits. If their films
tanked, the foot-tapping music has
more than made up for it. Either
way it has always been a win-win
situation

16. Eros entertainment – BO : 6.6$ million
Yash raj flims – BO : 4.3$ million
Big pictures – BO : 3.7$million

17. • Piracy: A worldwide issue, Piracy has been eating into the revenues since
home media was invented. now we can get crystal clear HD quality digital
print online just 2 days after the release of a movie.
• Lack of Good Scripts: This is the root cause of all problems. Every film is
doomed without a good script, and for some strange reason, mainstream
Indian filmmakers are not worried about this fact.
• Nepotism: Not just Bollywood, but Nepotism is a serious problem for every
industry in our country. With a population of over one billion, Indians prefer to
get their relatives placed in their line of work. And Bollywood is no exception.
With almost every third actor coming from the family of a yesteryear actor,
our film industry has been plagued with this virus of relativity since
filmmaking became a big business. Even today, its deemed almost impossible
for a talented newcomer to make a mark in Bollywood without any Godfather.

18. Challenges faced by the actors (artist)
Well acting is a tough and underpaid (in most cases) job.
Challenges could include:
• Role that are very demanding and hard to do.
• Make up that takes longer than your part in the show/shoot (some actors in star trek had seatings
of 3 to 4 hour to do make up and masks.)
• Acting challenges such as doing the right thing in the right time every time.
• sometimes tough to remember scripts filled with words impossible to remember.
• Sometimes the offers can be fake, and most of the time women are exploited and not safe .

20. • Portfolio consists a book of pictures of the model or actor
• It acts as resume hence its very important and it leads you
one step closer to your dream.
• This portfolio is being given to casting directors or
agencies to seek oppurtunities
• Normal portfolio can range upto 5k to 15k
• Celebrity photographers can charge around 50 to 80k for
portfolio
