One of the most anticipated big-banner films of the year may be visually grand, but insiders reveal that the director reportedly didn’t have full creative autonomy on set. Instead, the powerful producer is said to have been the ultimate decision-maker, approving each frame and key scene before the camera even rolled.

According to industry whispers, the process involved constant back-and-forth exchanges, with stills of setups being shared for feedback and tweaks before actors stepped in for the final take. Whether it was indoor sequences or outdoor schedules, the crew allegedly waited for the producer’s nod before locking shots, even when he wasn’t physically present.

Interestingly, the cast is believed to have been comfortable with this unusual working style, trusting the producer’s vision for the film’s larger-than-life scale. Given the lavish promos and mounting trade excitement, many now say the meticulous control may have contributed to the film’s polished visual appeal.
