Dil Raju under immense pressure for Game Changer

0

Producer Dil Raju is under immense pressure for Game Changer, his upcoming big film. It is widely known that the film is made in a crazy combination of Shankar and Ram Charan. If we observe Shankar’s movies, they have always been made with massive budgets.

So Dil Raju devised a massive idea and collaborated with ZEE Studios for the film to recover the budget. The Zee studios reportedly signed a deal for all non-theatrical, satellite, and digital rights for all languages for around 250Cr. Also, they have given some significant amounts as advance for Dil Raju. Now Dil Raju is under immense pressure because of Game Changer’s delayed filming.

With the amount given by ZEE Studios along with his own amount and the advances given by the distributors, the Bommarillu Producer thought that the movie’s budget could easily be handled and he could get profits. The plan was to release the film in 2023, and now the 2023 year is getting over, and the film will not be released this year.

Because of Indian 2 and Indian 3 films set to be released next year, there is no possibility for Game Changer to be released in 2024. The movie is likely to be released in 2025, and Dil Raju needs to handle ZEE studios as the committed dates are going beyond the limit.

He can not get any advances from distributors because the release date is far away. On the other hand, the budget keeps increasing with reshoots, and Shankar always goes beyond the limits of the budgets of his films. Reportedly, there is a lot of work pending for the film.

The first schedule of Game Changer is in 2021, and it’s more than two years. Dil Raju needs to wait for more than one year from here to release the film. This is a difficult situation for any producer as massive amounts are involved, and when the release date is getting delayed, the budget will surely increase. We have to wait and see how Dil Raju will manage this pressure and whether he will be able to come up with a profit equation or not.

A section of media overreacting on heroes’ remunerations

0

It’s still unclear why some section of the media always negatively portrays heroes’ remunerations. If we compare with other industries such as Hindi or Tamil, top Telugu Heros are taking quite reasonable remunerations. Excluding Pawan Kalyan, and all other star Heros are charging around 1/3 or even less as remuneration on the movie’s business or budgets.

For the last few years, Pawan Kalyan is focused on films of a smaller scale, but his remuneration is still high. Despite this disparity, this strategy of the Powerstar is working pretty well for producers too. Compared to this, top Kollywood stars are charging around or more than 50% remuneration. Even Dil Raju paid half of the budget to Vijay’s remuneration for Varasudu. This is the highest remuneration paid by Dil Raju till date. He never pays that huge remuneration to Telugu heroes and this includes Ram Charan’s for Game changer which has the potential to do 400Cr business.

Recently Allu Aravind made a statement that Heroes’ remunerations are not a reason for budget increases. Some sections of the media started writing negatively about the remuneration. In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Allu Arjun said. Tollywood star Heroes are even returning some percentage of money to producers in case of losses.
