Producer Ram Charan wants to close the deal for overseas market for his ambitious production “Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy” featuring his father Megastar Chiranjeevi in the role of king Uyyalavada Narasimha Reddy who rebelled against the British.
Many distributors came forward to buy the rights but they want the asking price to be cut down.
Given the film’s scale and craze, Ram Charan is hoping that it would become another “Baahubali”.
In this scenario, Ram Charan is said to be demanding 4 million dollars for US Rights which is too high for a megastar Chiranjeevi starrer whose last film “Khaidi No 150” raked in 2.4 million dollars in USA.
Even though the film is made with whopping Rs 200 Cr in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi languages with the ensemble cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Sudeep, Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara, it would not be that easy to recover.
If it succeeds like “Baahubali” did, the film has chances to touch even $10 million but if gets ordinary response, then it would not even cross $3 million. Risk factor is very high.
Ram Charan needs to approach it in realistic way or he should part rights on sharing profits basis.
“Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy” is still under production. The film’s shoot is expected to be wrapped up by next month.
The patriotic period drama is gearing up for Dussera release this year. Directed by Surender Reddy, Ram Charan is producing it on his own.
