Vijay Deverakonda, known for his dynamic film choices, is gearing up for another significant movie despite recent flops. His last movie, Family Star, did not perform well, quickly disappearing from theatres. Despite this, Deverakonda is pushing forward with new projects, including a high-budget film directed by Rahul Sankrityan, who previously directed him in the successful movie Taxiwala.
Teaming Up with a Trusted Director
Vijay Deverakonda and Rahul Sankrityan are joining forces again, this time for a period drama. This film is notable not just for its genre but also for its budget. It is reported to have a budget of Rs 120 crore, making it the most expensive project in Deverakonda’s career. He is expected to play dual roles, adding to the film's complexity and appeal.
Industry Reaction to the Budget
The decision to allocate such a significant budget has stirred discussions among industry insiders, especially given the modest box office returns of Deverakonda's recent films like Liger, Kushi, and Family Star. Each struggled to cross the Rs 35 crore mark. The investment of Rs 120 crore in his upcoming project has thus become a hot topic, with some questioning the gamble on such a costly production.
Production and Expectations
The film is being produced by Mythri Movie Makers, known for the hit movie Pushpa. They are placing a substantial bet on this 18th-century drama, signalling their confidence in its success. The production is set to begin after Deverakonda completes his current project with director Gowtam Tinnanuri.
Additional Projects and Future Plans
Alongside this ambitious period drama, Vijay Deverakonda has also committed to a new project with debut director Ravi Kumar Kola, produced by Dil Raju on a similarly grand scale. However, the project that has truly captured public attention is the upcoming film with Mythri Movie Makers, which promises more updates and details soon.
Vijay Deverakonda's decision to continue taking on challenging and high-budget films despite recent failures shows his resilience and commitment to his craft. As the film industry and his fans await the release of these projects, there is hopeful anticipation that these films will mark a successful new chapter in his career.
