I Lost 25 Cr. with Shakthi; Aswini Dutt

Then top producer Aswini Dutt usually set crazy combinations for his big budgeted films. The filmmaker would get enormous fame with Megastar Chiranjeevi’s industry hits and blockbuster films such as ‘Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari’, ‘Choodalani Vundhi’ and ‘Indra’.

Meanwhile, Aswini Dutt participated in the ‘Open Heart’ programme conducted by a TV news channel yesterday. He disclosed some shocking facts about the losses incurred by him with some of the film he produced.

“I lost Rs.25 crores with a film titled ‘Shakthi’ in  2011. I was immensely disappointed with the result,” said the producer. True to the producer’s words ‘Shakthi’ was declared as the industry biggest disaster those days. “Long back when I distributed Sr NTR’s ‘Brahmarshi Viswamithra’ I couldn’t even get prints cost,” the producer broke out. However the producer magnanimously admitted that his financial status and stature were improved for producing Chiranjeevi’s films.
