Generally, when top stars' films releases, no small films dare to enter into the fray. They are under the impression that they will only be affected, and so they remain silent. So they release their films when star heroes films are not releasing.
Even then producers of small films are getting impacted. When top stars films are getting impacted due to some or the other reasons they are targetting the release dates of small films and they without any second thoughts announce their release dates. But this is forcing the small filmmakers to backoff resulting in huge losses.
Everything become haphazard and their plans become impacted as they gave the release dates and also locked the theatres but with top stars films releasing on the same dates, all their promotionsl cost will be going for nothing. This happened both in case of Hari Hara Veera Mallu and Akhanda2. Both the films announced release dates multiple times and changed and then forced to chance on some occasions.
Some say top producers and top stars should show some concern for the small films and only then small films producers can survice. The question is will anyone spare a though on the makers and producers of small films.
