There was a time, not very long ago, when a Chiranjeevi film meant lots of money for the makers. It was a given that it would break industry records even if it was an average film. Irrespective of who the director was, Chiranjeevi meant big money in Tollywood.
But now, it’s a totally different ball game altogether. After venturing into politics he lost out on the image he had as the megastar. His popularity has hit rock bottom and there are many questions about his future both in the industry and in politics.
However, despite all this, the news about his 150th film has been creating enough buzz in keeping with his past image. The film which will be produced by Ram Charan will go on the sets very soon, it is being said.
But more than the story and the cast, the trade analysts are more interested in the money a Chiranjeevi film would make in today’s time.
It is being widely rumoured that the film will make nothing less than Rs 50 crore. And if he gets good pairing and if the film is on par with Chiranjeevi’s trademark entertainers, then it will surely enter the Rs 100 crore club predict industry insiders. But a final figure can be arrived only after the film will go on to the sets. Only then can the reaction of distributors and public be gauged to tentatively arrive at a final figure.
As per latest and hottest gossip in Film Nagar, Ram Charan will be spending at least Rs 45 crore on the film.
