&nbsp;Secret behind why Ajith didnot sign a new project after GBU. Ajith who enjoys tremendous fan following among masses however didnot announce his next project after Good Bad Ugly.He is concentrating on his hobby, car racing and participating in F1 racing at international circuit. In the meantime, financier-distributor Tiruppur Subramaniam shared another reason.He said &nbsp;“Ajith Kumar wants the salary he demands, but who is there in the industry to offer it? There’s almost no one, and we can’t do anything about it. Currently, only Red Giant Studios, AGS Entertainments, Sun Pictures and VELS Entertainments are there in Tamil cinema with a passion for cinema, but they don’t want to take such big risks and are ready for a profit-sharing model.”He added Ajith wants a fixed salary, with trade reports claiming it is over ₹110-120 crore, which Kollywood production houses are supposedly willing to pay. “He wants a fixed salary from the production; if not, he is already well-settled and interested in racing. He is earning well even through advertising, but he should consider serving the cinema and making films on a profit-sharing basis with production companies he likes. Then, we will at least get two to three big films from him in Tamil cinema,”A producer shares “There are no more producers in Tamil. We have a couple of corporates who can only afford Vijays and Ajiths. The remaining heroes will do films for their home banners. Other than that, there are no producers. It is not fair to blame only the Telugu annas (brothers). Along with many problems, Telugu annas complicated things for us. The system has killed everyone.” Pramod Nandivada

&nbsp;&nbsp;Russel Crowe analyses Gladiator II failure. Russel Crowe's Gladiator turned out to be a blockbuster in 2000, and it went on to win Best Film award, Best Actor award at the Oscars after getting numerous nominations in various fields.Expectations soared when Gladiator II was announced and released in 2024. However, the film turned out to be a failure. Russel Crowe, speaking about it said “When we were shooting that film, there was a lot of pressure. The studio, the producers [thought] there should be sex between Maximus and the female characters. I kept pushing back. This is the story of a man avenging the death of his wife and his child. There cannot be a moment in that journey where he stops and has sex with somebody. It doesn't make any sense because that destroys the journey,”He added “It's very interesting because the second movie barely took the same box office that the first movie took. That's 20 years later. When you apply how much of a change there's been on the value of a dollar, they failed. They failed because they didn't understand why [the original movie] was successful -- it had a moral core.” &nbsp;Pramod Nandivada
