The theatrical rights of Nani-starrer Jersey, a sports film based on cricket, is being given to regular distributors of the production house for meager prices. It is buzzed that as part of the compensation to the distributors who lost monies in their previous production ventures – Agnyaathavaasi and Aravinda Sametha.
While Agnyaathavaasi is a big disaster, Aravinda Sametha has done well but a few distributors lost money owing to its exorbitant prices. Aravinda Sametha was sold for record prices which led to some losses to a few distributors in some areas. Also, Shailaja Reddy Alludu too ended up incurring losses to its buyers. Owing to these, the production house is now giving off Jersey for reasonable prices.
In addition to the above, the buzz for Jersey isn’t great. Nani’s last film as solo hero Krishnarjuna Yuddham hasn’t done well. Even his multi-starrer with Nag, Devadas also failed to meet the expectations. And Nani doing a sports film has garnered little buzz. Considering these, the makers have decided to give it off Jersey for nominal prices. This is a blessing in disguise for the distributors.
