No matter how you look at cinema and the art involved in it, at the end is a business that revolves around money. You don’t bet on the horses that are injured. In the same way, no producer will be ready to spend the big bucks on heroes who are struggling to give a hit. Producers need heroes with huge markets that can give profits.
Young Akkineni hero Naga Chaitanya is suffering from back-to-back disasters like ‘Thank You’ and ‘Custody’. Both of them ended in huge losses and his market value came down a big as well. As we know, he is all set to work with ‘Karthikeya 2’ director Chandoo Mondeti. The hero and the director worked together for ‘Premam’ and ‘Savyasachi’ before. They are coming up with an interesting script and Allu Aravind is producing the film.
While the other producers would think before spending huge money on a Naga Chaitanya film, sources say that Allu Aravind is showcasing immense trust in the hero and director. Apparently, he is ready to spend heavily on the film and bring top technicians on board. Already, music sensation Anirudh Ravichander is in talks with the team. The movie is expected to be a romantic love story set in the sea backdrop. Chaitanya will play the role of a boatman in this flick which will begin soon.
If we observe carefully, it is ‘Geetha Arts’ banner that gave Akhil’s first hit ‘Most Eligible Bachelor’. They have been in the industry for a long time and they are quite calculated about everything according to a set of fans. Many claim that Allu Arvind is doing more for Naga Chaitanya than Nagarjuna. We need to wait and see if Chaitanya scores a big hit and bounces back with Chandoo’s project or not.
The pre-production work is going on right now and it is reportedly about a fisherman who moved from Srikakulam to Gujarat. Karthik is providing the story. Chandoo Mondeti is one of the hit directors in Tollywood right now. He scored a blockbuster with ‘Karthikeya 2’ and it achieved pan-Indian success as well.
