The budgets of Tollywood star hero movies have changed a lot in the last couple of years. Money is spent like water if the story demands. The market of our stars grew immensely which is making the money spent not look like a huge risk. A lot of films showcased that hundreds of crores can be easily recovered if the content is impressive. Previously, it is a wonder when makers spent 100 crores on a film. Nowadays, producers are spending hundreds of crores. The budget of ‘Adipurush’ is over 500 crores while Rajamouli spent more than 400 crores on ‘RRR’.

Prabhas is the hero while legends like Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Hassan are working on it. Deepika Padukone is the heroine. It is a science fiction film based on the time travel concept. Nag Ashwin is directing it and the makers are targeting an international market with this movie. If things go as planned, it will get more than 1000 crores and it is going to hit the screens on 12th January 2024.
The next in line is Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli’s globetrotting adventure drama. It is going to be made on an even bigger budget than ‘Project K’. Many are expecting the film to cross ‘Baahubali’ collections with ease. Knowing Rajamouli’s vision and passion, the movie is all set to earn more than 1500 crores as per reports.
