Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 151st film has been in the news for a long time. It is known that Chiru has decided to do ‘Uyyalavada Narasimha Reddy’ as his next film and Surender Reddy is the director. There has been several speculations doing rounds in the film circles regarding this film. One of them is.. casting of Bollywood Star Askhay Kumar in the film.
Surprisingly thre is an interesting discussion going on in the social media about Akshay Kumar’s presence in Chiru film. Many feel that Chiranjeevi film can not afford to cast Askshay Kumar because his remuneration is much higher. The talk is that he charges 50 crore as remuneration for his film. There were reports few months back that Akshay is charging more remuneration than Rajinikanth for ‘2.o’. In fact, the news might be true because Askshay does three to four films a year. So his total remuneration would be around 150 to 200 crore per annum. As he has given more dates for ‘2.o’ he might have charged more than 50 crore for ‘2.o’.
As ‘2.o’ budget is mugh higher and it has pan india appeal, they could be able to afford him. When it comes to Chiranjeevi film, the situation is totally different. Chiru doesn’t have other language market except Telugu. If the film makers cast Akshay in the film, it will unnecessarily increase the budget.. the argument seems to have some logic.. Isn’t it ?
