How many days are consumed to shoot an entire film?
- Rishi Marwah
- On an average, a big-budget film is shot for anywhere between 100 and 200 days. There are also small-budget films which are completed in a fortnight-long shooting schedule! Actually, it all depends on the director and the genre of the film. Some directors shoot fast, others take a long time. Action films take more shooting days than love stories or family dramas.
