When you speak about the richest people in the film fraternity, usually it is the star heroes who stand first. But now, there is one person in the south cinema circuit who is being touted as the would-be richest director. If all goes well, he might be richer than the star heroes in the south.
He is none other than the multi-faceted Lawrence. Apparently, his last venture Ganga, the dubbed version of his Tamil movie Kanchana 2 has raked in superb collections and both versions together have touched a whopping 100 crores. This is a record in itself. The horror cum comedy treat appealed to the masses in a big way.
But more than that, here is the main factor. Lawrence has excelled in shaping up a movie with the lowest budget and bring highest margin for his investors. Once this concept works out the stakes will change and he will get more profits. That way he can become the richest director in south India and get into the league of Rajkumar Hirani and others.
