RRR Producer: Budget Fears

0

It has been earlier reported that RRR producer DVV Danayya did not make as much money as expected from RRR due to over budget and delay in release. His experiences with RRR has forced DVV Danayya to take budget control measures for all his upcoming projects. For any upcoming film, he is making lot of calculations and putting tabs on budgets. If the budget is going out of control he is walking out of the project.

Initially, he was the producer for Prabhas – Maruthi film Raja Saab. However, he sold to rights to People’ Media Factory for good profits. Even recently, he exited for Vijay’s last film as the Kollywood star was quoting huge remuneration and Danayya felt it would not work and exited from the project.

Once Danayya signed Vijay, multiple directors narrated scripts and Danayya planned to bring a Telugu star director as he felt Vijay’s Tamil brand and director’s Telugu market would surely be a winning combination. Unfortunately, this didn’t work out.

Finally, Vijay locked director H Vinoth for this project and quoted Rs 250 Cr remuneration. DVV Danayya was not okay with it as Vinoth does not have any big image in other languages so he reportedly walked out of this project.

0

After the exit of Kareena Kapoor from Rocking Star Yash’s upcoming project ‘Toxic’ it’s being reported that Nayanthara has been brought on board. Director Geethu Mohandas and Nayanthara are in talks for the role and have held multiple meeting regarding the movie.

Bankrolled by KVN Productions, Toxic will see Kiara Advani playing the lead while Nayanthara playing Yash’s sister. The film deals with Goa drug mafia backdrop and is set for the 2025 April release.

Toxic has a strong sibling emotion, and the part of the sister is very crucial to the narrative, warranting the presence of a top star. The makers are looking to cast actresses with Pan India presence for the part.

After the blockbuster success of KGF series, there were heavy expectations on Yash’s next. A motion poster of Toxic was released in late December last year. In this motion poster, Yash was seen wearing a cowboy hat on his head, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and holding a gun on his shoulder. Yash’s choice of teaming up with Geethu Mohandas has surprised many, but looking at the starcast, it surely looks like the director is planning something exciting.

0

The gap between theatrical and OTT releases is becoming narrower with the passing of time. While there’s a standard practice of maintaining at least 4-week gap between theatrical release and OTT, there have been instances where a movie has been released on digital platforms just 20 days after its theatrical release.

And now, a new record of sorts has been established with Satyadev’s Krishnamma arriving on OTT within a week of its release. The film was released on 10th May and has already found its way to Amazon Prime Video.

This is indeed shocking as the team had officially released a poster just a day back stating that all distributors have achieved breakeven. And now the movie is streaming because, in reality, the movie did not work well at the Box office. The producer wants to recover the invested money and early OTT streaming seems to be the only way out.

Directed by V V Gopala Krishna, Krishnamma is a revenge action drama starring Archana, Krishna Burugula, Athira, Meesala Lakshman among others. The film has been bankrolled by  Krishna Kommalapati and received praise for its raw portrayal and Satyadev’s performance. However, the story and overall screenplay couldn’t generate any excitement.
