Akhanda 2 Thandavam trailer is released and now the discussions are revolving around director Boyapati Srinivas.
Reliable sources say that the remuneration given to Boyapati Srinivas for this film is Rs 35 crore. Yes, this makes him the third highest paid director in the industry after Rajamouli and Sukumar.
Rajamouli and Sukumar operate in a completely different stratosphere, but Boyapati now stands right behind them as one of the biggest directors.
Even Trivikram Srinivas has reportedly never taken such a remuneration; the maximum he received is said to be around Rs 30 crore. He may surpass Boyapati in future films, but this is the current scenario.
This remuneration does not simply reflect Boyapati’s individual potential, but the power of the Boyapati-Balayya combination and the Akhanda franchise.
This shows how big the earnings can be in the film industry for those who successfully build powerful franchises and blockbuster combinations.
