It is reported that Allu Arjun will be playing a double role for the first time in a film directed by Atlee and produced by Sun Pictures. Janhvi Kapoor has almost been finalized for this film, which is set to go on floors in August. Names like Samantha and Pooja Hegde are being heard for the other heroine’s role.
In the two roles that Allu Arjun will be playing, one is likely to be mass and the other class. As is known, Allu Arjun is taking a remuneration of 175 crores plus a 15% share of the profits for this film. Director Atlee is being paid 100 crores. If the remuneration for the remaining artists and technicians is added, it will be a minimum of another 100 crores, totaling 375 to 400 crores just for remuneration.
Assuming that at least 200 crores will be spent on making and publicity, the budget for this project will be 600 crores. Interest also needs to be added to this. That means it will have to collect 700 crores just to break even.
However, since there is a possibility of getting 350 to 400 crores in the form of digital, audio, and in-film branding, if the project goes on floors without delay, it will definitely be a safe project.
