Hero Ram made a fabulous comeback with ‘Nenu Sailaja’ in 2016 after a series of disappointing movies. Even though four movies were released for Sankranti later, ‘Nenu Sailaja’ ended up as a blockbuster, grossing more than 20 crores. As per Telugu360 sources, theatrical profit was 16 crores and total profit including satellite rights was 21 crores. This movie is produced by Sravati Movies, which is home banner of Ram. This movie was made on a shoestring budget of 3.5 crores and total expenses with publicity was 4.5 crores.
As per the information from industry sources, Hero Ram took a share in the project instead of taking remuneration from his uncle. Since he made a cool profit and also accepted other movies riding on the success of ‘Nenu Sailaja’, he paid 3 crores as advance tax. Indeed this is a nice problem to have for any hero — partnership in a super hit movie and getting your career back on track. Worrying about tax is the last thing.
