Mumbai. Year 1997? A classic film was released in theaters, which introduced people to the new world of cinema. From the beginning to the end of the story, the film was crafted in such a way that every scene got stuck in the minds of the audience. This masterpiece was the film ?Titanic? (Titanic), which was directed by veteran filmmaker James Cameron. It was the most expensive film of that time and the special thing is that even now this film is counted among the top 3 expensive films. That is, money was spent like water on this film based on destruction amidst water. Today it is celebrating its silver jubilee. Let us take this opportunity to talk about the expenses of an over budget film?
James Cameron, who shook the whole world with his film, had chosen a real subject to make this film. In the year 1912, the RMS Titanic ship, which first departed from Southampton, sank and many people lost their lives in it. James decided to make a film on this tragedy. But James did not want it to be a complete tragedy, so he added a love story to it.
James spent money on every detail
You will be surprised to know that 25 times more money was spent in making the film than what was spent in making the real Titanic ship. Since every detail was paid attention to in the making of the film, the budget of the film also increased with time. The carpets that James showed on the ship were made by the same artisan who made them for the original Titanic. At the same time, in a scene of the film, one crore liters of water was used to show the ship sinking. Obviously, a lot of money was spent to show these details. The total cost of making this film was Rs 1250 crore, while the cost of the actual ship was Rs 47 crore. If we calculate the equation, then about Rs 6.57 crore was spent on the filming of each scene.

James jumped into the water without caring for his life.
How engrossed James Cameron was in making this film can be gauged from the fact that he himself jumped into the sea to shoot the underwater scene. James started working on this film in 1995 itself. To get footage of the real Titanic, he dived to a depth of more than 12 thousand feet. For this, he went inside the sea 12 times with the help of submarine and a lot of money was spent in this process also.
