‘Who benefits from KSFDC? Anyway, not for the film’: Production Manager Eldo Selvaraj

It is widely criticized that Malayalam cinema does not have basic facilities at the government level. Therefore, the number of people who join foreign languages ​​and excel there is high. Now production manager and actor Eldo Selvaraj in a Facebook post points out the inadequacy of KSFDC. to the post

Who benefits from KSFDC? Not for the movie anyway.
The dubbing of the film ‘Kambam’ directed by his colleague and production manager Sudhan Raj has been going on for the past week at Chitranjali Studio, Thiruvananthapuram.

Sorry not walking. It’s fair to say that Chitranjali was crawling in the dubbing suite at the studio. My friend Harshan Pattazhi and I, who was acting in the film, reached the studio at 9.45 am and by 4 pm we could not complete dubbing the 10 scenes in which we acted. Looked for a while, then lay on the console heh heh there is no way out our Chitranjali system hangs full time. Look slowly at the sound engineers. As if it could be fixed now, it said the system hangs. Just do a reboot. We nodded our heads as if it was all right, because we came in the morning and spent half an hour fixing the spanner of 10.

Time moves on, technology changes, from film to digital. Chitranjali’s situation is like that of Shankar in the coconut. What does the changing board do to raise Chitranjali? Is this movement growing or weakening?

I called the head of the cinema and said the system hangs and dubbing is not happening, he said he will investigate and call back, where? Director Chitranjali also called studio manager and chairman. No salvation. Director Sudhan is thinking where to start the dubbing. He is also the producer of this film. If producers and directors come with the idea of ​​a new film, I always used to say in the past, we can make it in a Chitranjali package, we will get a subsidy​​​​​​ and it will be a relief for post-production. Now I have to think about it.

Now we got not relief but suffocation from Chitranjali Studio. Take good officers/technicians who love cinema and know cinema and replace board members who don’t even use Chitranjali Scents unit while making their own film and provide state of the art facilities for post- produce the film. But Chitranjali is good.

If this is true, why such a film development corporation? For whom? To protect the personal interests of some individuals? Governments allocate funding. What is this fund used for? Or will the allocated money run out when March comes? Change and spend?

Do not destroy this movement. If not, pass it on to those who want to save KSFDC. It is heard that funds have been allocated for the development of Chitrajnali through Kifbi. It is not said that he is doing Filmcity in Hyderabad.
Will you make the necessary facilities for the filming of the movie/serial…? (Eg: Railway Station, Train, Airplane, Houses of Worship, Hospital… etc) Government Subsidy We have to understand how other states of India carry out the artistic promotion of their respective language films.

Similar to the subsidy given by the government to films of artistic value in other languages, if you register here in Chitranjali and start filming, you will get a subsidy of just 5 lakh rupees. If instead of Rs 5 lakh for the multi-crore industry, a subsidy of at least Rs 25 lakh would be a relief to artistic films!
