Mass Maharaja’s Ravi Teja’s Mr Bachchan was released last month and ended up being a massive box office failure. The film managed to create some buzz owing to its audio. However, once the film was released, it attracted poor reviews and negative word of mouth.
After the failures of Tiger Nageswara Rao and Eagle, Ravi Teja and fans hoped for a big success with this remake of the Bollywood superhit Raid. That didn’t happen and the film ended up being a massive flop.
Taking responsibility for the failure of Mr Bachchan, both Ravi Teja and Harish Shankar have now decided to return a part of their remuneration. People’s Media Factory bankrolled this project and Ravi Teja has returned Rs 4 crore while Harish Shankar has returned Rs 2 crore to the producers.
Mr Bachchan marks the third collaboration between People’s Media Factory and Ravi Teja. Their first film Dhamaka was a major hit while Eagle and Mr Bachchan have failed miserably at the box office.
