With Rangasthalam emerging as a smash hit at box office, director Sukumar is receiving huge critical acclaim from all quarters. He is being praised to the sky for extracting career best performance from Ram Charan.
The Nannaku Prematho director is now flooded with numerous offers. But, he has decided to concentrate on one film at a time.
Sources close to Sukumar revealed that he is now commanding a solid remuneration among the current crop of directors. Reportedly, he is going to take home a fat paycheck for his next film to be helmed by Mythri Movie Makers.
It is learnt that the production house has already paid an advance of 6 Crores to Sukumar for next film which will feature Mahesh Babu in the lead role. Also, it is learnt that this is the first a director is being paid such a hefty amount as advance.
After the 1 Nennokadine debacle, both Sukumar and Mahesh Babu are reuniting for the second time. The film is expected to roll out next year.
