Actor Vidya Balan’s reported boyfriend Siddharth Roy Kapur, the head honcho of a production house has made an appearance on Wikileaks saying that there’s too much money in Bollywood. “Following the Hollywood model, many film and entertainment companies are moving away from an actor/star-based system to a system more reliant on the production company's brand, and its stable of producers and directors," Kapur said. Kapur has apparently blamed excessive competition and multiple avenues and sources of financing for much of the industry's problem because there is too much money and too many people chasing limited amount of talent. In doing so, studios can lessen their dependence on actors — who often command fees for as much as 50 per cent of the film’s budget compared to 10-15 per cent in the US — and increase their chances of profitability for each film, according to the US diplomatic cable sent in February 2010.
