Our Telugu cinema standards and market potential have increased over the years. Today a big ticket Telugu film is able to successfully cross the prestigious Rs 100 Cr mark and Koratala Siva is one of those most able and sought-after 'Rs 100Cr' directors in Telugu film industry.
Nonetheless to say his previous films Srimanthudu & Janatha Garage are one of Top highest grossing Telugu films in history. His upcoming film with Superstar Mahesh Babu is naturally expected to join the list. However, Koratala's remuneration for this film is the latest talk of the town.
As per inside sources, Koratala received a remuneration of Rs 12Cr for his earlier film but he had other plans for Mahesh's film. Koratala eyed upon overseas share and post Rs 12 crore collection mark, he is willing to share the profit with the producers, say close sources.
Well Koratala knows that Mahesh is an undisputed crowd puller especially in the overseas market. Many Mahesh Babu movies are a part of the Top Highest Grossing Telugu films in Overseas. So asking for an overseas share can be regarded as an intelligent move from Koratala - the captain of the ship. Though budget inflation is a concern, Koratala is an eligible director given his track record and demand, say industry onlookers.
So let us see if Koratala can get what he needs and deliver what Superstar fans want!
