Megastar Chiranjeevi is the only senior hero who is still compacting with this generation stars. With the comeback film itself, he pulled off a Non-Baahubali Industry Hit and 100 Cr share. Thereafter, with Syeraa and Waltair Veerayya, he scored 100 Cr shares again. However, Chiranjeevi’s big budget films are not getting the required range.
If we look at at Chiranjeevi’s mass commercial films like Khaidi No 150, Waltair Veerayya, they were very comfortable for producers while making the film, and the business and collections were too huge.
But if we see Chiranjeevi’s big budget films like Syeraa, the film faced many obstacles while making. The cost too went more than the expected, which resulted in the producers going for a deficit release. That is why, even though the movie emerged as Chiru’s biggest grosser, because of the over budget, the film ended up as a cost failure.
Vishwambhara: A big risk for Megastar
Now, coming to his upcoming film, Viswmbhara, it is also being made as a massive film. It is expected to be a visual grandeur, but when the film’s teaser was released, the director and the entire unit faced heavy criticism about VFX, which resulted in the team spending more money on it.
But if the movie’s cost is considered, the business is not happening at that level. For the theatrical and non-theatrical rights, the producers are quoting at very high prices because of the record budget, but they are not receiving the offers in the expected range. Vishwambhara needs another teaser with good visuals which can turn the tables. However, even after that, the makers are in a danger of facing a big risk. The movie must do very big numbers in all languages to become a successful venture.
Vishwambhara’s team is planning to release on 9th May. A teaser is supposed to be released soon, and it is expected to turn the table for the film regarding the business and craze.
So, if we observe the entire scenario, Chiranjeevi’s commercial movies are working very big, but his big budget films are facing various hurdles. After Vishwambhara, Chiranjeevi signs his next films with Anil Ravipudi and Srikanth Odela. These films will be very comfortable for him, as mostly they will be made as commercial and mass entertainers.
