Director Parasuram has received about Rs 9 Cr amount for ‘Geetha Govindam’. Producer Allu Aravind gave such a huge amount after the movie became a massive blockbuster. Rs 9 Cr is the total amount of a share in the total profits plus remuneration. Since then Parasauram is demanding Rs 10 crore paycheck for his next movie but producers are worried about this high demand.
Had he convinced Mahesh Babu with his script, the producers would have happily paid him such huge remuneration. But Mahesh Babu didn’t like his story. He later approached Bunny and Ram Charan as well. They refused to do his movie immediately as they are busy with other commitments. He is now approaching medium-range stars like Chaitanya and Nani.
These medium-range stars are also taking Rs 9 to 10 Cr remuneration. If Parasuram also demands the same amount, the project is not viable. This could be one of the reasons why he was not able to bring his movie to the sets even after delivering such a massive blockbuster with ‘Geetha Govindam’. He has lost more than a year on his trials.
He built a dream house in Hyderabad in the meantime.
