Senior Producer Ashwini Dutt who was involved in a controversy for his recent comments against the Andhra Pradesh Government has once again become the reason for another wrong news. In a recent interview, Ashwini Dutt mentioned that he faced a massive loss of 32 Crores because of NTR’s Shakti movie, but the reality is different, and he is just overhyping the losses.
In the year 2011, Ashwini Dutt tasted made a big budget movie Shakti with NTR, which was a big failure, and he had to bear with heavy losses because of the miserable result. As said above, during a recent interview the Mahanati Producer was talking about the film, Shakti. Ashwini Dutt opined that he lost a huge amount of RS 32 Crores because of Shakti.
Shakti movie was a made on a budget in the range of 40 – 45 Crores which was the costliest project of that time and the movie had did record business in NTR’s Career with a theatrical business close to 40 Crores and with satellite rights, the budget had almost recovered as well.
Also, the theatrical business was done on a recovery basis, so producer has to return some amount in cases of losses. Now even i if we assume that Ashwini Dutt had returned 100% losses to the distributors, the maximum amount he can lose will be around 20 Crores. But he is saying 32 Crores loss, which is not true. A few years back, Ashwini Dutt had said he lost 25 Crores because of Shakti, and now he is saying it is 32 Crores loss. Clearly, the senior producer is overhyping the losses.
