Nandamuri Kalyan Ram ended his poor run as hero with Pataas that went onto be a runaway hit. This is one of the few Telugu films of recent times that have earned profits to all parties involved.
Despite scoring a big hit, Kalyan Ram is not a happy man these days says the grapevine.
Kalyan Ram produced a big budget movie Kick 2 on NTR Arts banner with Raviteja and Surender Reddy. This film’s budget went out of control due to poor planning of the director says the buzz.
If the buzz is to be believed Kick 2 has cost 40 crore for Kalyan Ram, which is too high considering Raviteja’s market.
Buyers were not ready to pay high amounts for a Raviteja film and hence Kalyan Ram should now release it in a deficit of over 15 crore.
Surender Reddy couldn’t finish off the project on time and Kick 2 missed a golden chance of cashing in on the vacant summer season. Now it is scheduled for release on August 21st, which is not so great season for film business.
Kick 2 must become a huge blockbuster to bail out Kalyan Ram from this situation. No Raviteja film has ever done 30 crore business till date, which means Kick 2 should do astounding business against all the odds. Hope it does!
