Normally for the combination of Vijay Devarakonda and Parusaram especially after Geetha Govindam, Dil Raju should have been in very big profits before the release itself. In most cases, the producer will be in a safe position even if the movie is a disaster. However, that’s not the case with Family Star which has brought a huge loss for Dil Raju.
The main reason for this debacle is the budget planning. The film was initially planned budget to be around 60 Cr – 65Cr but the final budget crossed 90 Cr. It was at the same time OTT platforms started backing out and this resulted in The Family Star not making much from digital rights as per Dil Raju’s expectations.
The ace producer was able to recover only half of the budget from non-theatrical and he expected the film would work like Geetha Govindam and theatrical revenues give him profits.
But shockingly The Family Star opened with disastrous numbers and reviews with all buyers ending up with huge losses. Dil Raju went for his own release in Nizam and Uttarandhra. He got around 35Cr shares including Nizam and UA. That itself accounts to more than a 10 Cr loss for Dilraju and now he needs to compensate the distributors of the film as they lost more than 2/3 of their investments.
