Makers of NTR biopic made last minute adjustments and decided to release the film in two parts. It is believed to be Balakrishna’s idea to release the film in two parts.
The film was supposed to be produced by Sai Korrapati and Vishnu Induri at the beginning. Balakrishna decided to make it a joint venture as he felt that it is the best film to launch his production house NBK Films.
However, the original producers have been sidelined as the film progressed and were reportedly paid royalty as their share.
They didn’t have any share in the second part as it was solely Balakrishna’s idea to release it in two parts.
Sai Korrapati and Vishnu Induri couldn’t go against Balakrishna as he is too powerful and stayed mum despite being pushed aside as ‘saha nirmatalu’.
But Balakrishna’s tactics backfired as NTR Kathanayakudu ended up a box office disaster. He was forced to sell NTR Mahanayakudu for free to the same distributors.
It is unlikely for him to make any money on the second part given the response for first part.
Even the digital and satellite rights wouldn’t fetch extra money in spite of two parts.
