Nitesh Tiwari: Unfortunate that film's budget depends on star

"A same script with a bigger star will have a higher production budget, but the same script with a so-called lesser known star, would have lesser budget. Because producers in their heads think about the market recovery," he added. The director, who has also made children-based films like Chillar Party and Bhoothnath Returns, pointed out that the whole thing trickles down to the budget of a children's film.

"There are two big problems as to why children's films are not being made. One is the commercial point of view which is the producers' inclination to make it commercially successful. The other problem is that there aren't too many people who want to make children's films."
