Young filmmaker Nag Ashwin announced a biopic on legendary actor Savitri. Titled as Mahanati, the film stars young actress Keerthy Suresh in the lead role and also features an ensemble cast in the form of Samantha, Dulquer Salmaan, Vijay Devarakonda and Prakash Raj in crucial roles. Even before the film’s shoot is half done, the makers have struck a lucrative deal.
According to the latest buzz in the industry circles, the overseas rights of Mahanati have been bought by Nirvana Cinemas for a whopping 4.5 Crores. This is a huge price for the movie we should say as it is a lady oriented film. Nirvana Cinemas, which has been on success streak with back to back blockbusters with Anando Brahma and Arjun Reddy is making big bet on Mahanati. Let’s wait and watch if their success streak continues with this movie.
Mahanti is aiming for an early next year release.
