Cinema production is a very risky business. It is very difficult for small pockets to survive and grow here. Even now, when the average budget of movies is over 500 crores, not all producers are able to make movies and win. Also, earlier all film production was a business as well as an art form. But now it is a corporate business, some big corporate houses are running cinema production as a systematic business. Many such companies are already active in India, and now the Birla family, which is one of the largest conglomerates and one of the richest families in India, has also ventured into film production.
