Naga Vamsi, with production aside, started getting involved in distribution in recent times. He bought Devara’s entire Telugu states’ rights, which worked very well for him. With the same excitement, Naga Vamsi bought War 2’s Nizam rights, which heavily backfired now.
The movie failed to live up to the expectations of both content and box office, and it is heading towards a high-loss venture. The producer took the rights of both Telugu states and did not sell Telangana’s full rights.
Naga Vamsi is said to have believed so much in War 2, especially in Nizam; he expected it to be a money spinner. As both the Telugu and Hindi versions release in the area, he expected the film to work very big.
Naga Vamsi Faces Heavy Loss With War 2 Nizam Rights
With that confidence, Naga Vamsi did not sell the film to Dil Raju on an outright basis, and he also took the partnership in Nizam rights. The major share in rights is said to be with Vamsi.
The Nizam rights are valued at 35 Cr, and Dil Raju’s partnership is 45%, and Vamsi’s is 55%. By looking at the current trend, War 2 will settle under 15 Cr in its full run, which means more than 50% loss for valued businesses.
It will be a slight relief for Dil Raju, as he did not buy the film on an outright basis. If he had bought the entire rights, it could have been a heavy loss venture for him.
However, buying War 2’s Nizam rights has heavily backfired for Naga Vamsi, and another big burden for him is he also needs to compensate Andhra buyers.
