Hyderabad: Stills from Telugu film `Oopiri` (Photo: IANS)
Nagarjuna's latest film, a multi-starrer with Karthi, is gearing up for a release on March 25th. This Friday we're going to see his Oopiri making huge noise at the box office. But the success of this film is not a cakewalk as expected.
Making a film under 15 crores budget and squeezing 50+ crores share from box office is what Nagarjuna advocates. That's why he said Soggade Chinni Nayana is a huge hit, but films that are made with 50 crores budget and collecting 50 crores from box office are nothing. And Nagarjuna's words are going to hit him back hard. Oopiri is said to have cost producer PVP nearly 60 crores budget. He may get 10+ crores through Satellite rights, and that puts up 50 crores burden on the theatrical release. Thats the reason the film is being released in both Telugu and Tamil.
Will Nagarjuna pull the film to shores? Will his newly acquired super stardom help producers recover their 60 crores? Let's see.
