Guess the budget of Tamil star Dhanush's costliest film?
Undoubtedly, the much-hyped film ‘Kubera’ is turning out to be the costliest in the Tamil star Dhanush’s career and Sekhar Kammula’s directorial has been going overboard and it has already crossed the magic Rs 100 crore mark. “The budget has shot up drastically due to big casting, and production values besides shooting at varied locales and it is bound to go over Rs 120 crore. Initially, they wanted to complete the film within Rs 90 crore but now it has been revised to Rs 120 crore,’ says a source.
The film boasts of Nagarjuna and Rashmika Mandanna and it is being designed as a multi-lingual film and set to be released all over India. “Nagarjuna and Dhanush is a casting coup of sorts," says producer Sunil Narang and adds, “Tamil superstar Dhanush is a very professional and dedicated actor. It was great working with a national award-winning actor,". However, the exhibitor-turned-producer admits that the budget has gone over the initial estimates. "We have revised the budget but I can't share exact figures. But I can only say that 'Kubera' would be one of the costliest films in Tollywood and money spent for a purpose," he adds.
He also heaped praises on Nagarjuna for his acting skills and friendly nature. “ "When director Sekhar Kammula narrated the story to him, he agreed and came on board. The combination of Dhanush and Nagarjuna will be great to watch out on the big screen. Nagarjuna’s role will be significant and powerful and he is doing almost a full-length role in this multi-starrer. Even reigning actor Rashmika would be seen in a new avatar and so it has universal appeal,’ he informs
He claims that two more lavish songs on Dhanush and Rashmika are pending and they will be shot in exotic locales very soon.
