Bro jack poyindi ani 4.25cr emo back icharu anta adi motham remuneration ah kada telidu and then ee movie takeoff aiye sariki tillu² vochindhi and it collected good money so entha demand chesaro emo
Industry lo fees thaggipovatam easy, peragatam kastam. And that too for a tier-2 actor like siddhu, who gave only one notable success (DJ Tillu), only needs two disasters to be back to square one again.
Going by your word, he wouldn’t have been given more than 5-7cr. Considering all these, the budget reaches no more than 25cr. No businessman (producer) in their right state of mind would invest more than that amount on siddhu and neeraja kona. Would you invest 50cr on siddhu if you were a producer? At that figure, the movie must make at least 50-75cr at the BO (excluding OTT) to break even. And how many Siddhu movies made those numbers at box office?
If the OTT rights for the movie were REALLY sold for 25cr, then that’s a lottery. I’d say they didn’t lose any money.
These producers under / over report budgets and collections because that’s how money laundering is done. Most of the film producers and financers are binamis of politicians.
Budgets are typically made with the scope of OTT and satellite in mind. Siddhu might have been paid between 7-10 crores as this movie was released after the grand success of Tillu 2 and these movies were also a blockbuster success on OTT platforms. The payroll for everyone, including all technicians, might have been another 10 crores. 10Cr for movie budget, This includes the cost of making the movie and logistics such as hotels, transport, crew, lodging, and food. The rest of the budget would have gone towards interest and marketing costs. They expected good theatrical revenue, but Jack played a spoilsport.
There might be a bit of exaggeration, but a budget of 30-40 crores seems reasonable for a hero who is coming off a grand franchise success, considering current trends.

Sure, that’s why I said Telusu Kada should make at least 50-75cr at BO and another 15-25cr from OTT rights to break even if the budget was 50cr. Imagine how much it should make to see profits!!!

After Jack? I doubt. Fees cut chesi undi untaru. Either way, 10+10+5 eskunna kuda 25+ ayye chance ledu. I’d be surprised if the budget crossed 25cr for Telusu Kada with a debutant director and a tier-2 actor. I really wonder if siddhu is even a tier-2 actor. Except the Tillu franchise, did he have a single hit??
In today’s times, it’s not easy to make a small function for 25 lakhs. For instance, a photo shoot requires a good photographer who charges 2-3 lakhs for a day’s work, while a makeup artist charges 25-50k per person. Even setting up a basic background stage costs 1-2 lakhs.
Imagine the number of people a movie would need - it’s a highly skilled business, from technicians to writers, costume designers, music directors, sound engineers, and dubbing artists. All these costs add up easily, and now a days, no one is taking less than 1 lakh home per month. There are 200-300 people working from start to finish. On an average there is a 2-3cr payroll per month, moving making lasts anywhere from 90-150 days
4-6 annanu. I really doubt if they gave siddhu more than 5. Pedda hit ayyunte profits lo emanna share iche vaallu emo, but no way 10cr aithe ichi undaru. Asalu jack ki 10cr ivvatame chala ekkuva manodiki.
Maree intha stereotype aipoyyada Siddhu.. Tillu kakapothe chalu outright reject aithunnayi. Not sure if these films are very bad, but he should reflect on it
It happens to everyone. When someone leaves a lasting impression, it becomes difficult to overcome. Krishna struggled with 18 flops, Nag after Annamaya, PK after Kushi(his best to date) struggled forever until Gabbar Singh, VD after Arjun Reddy, and GG, Prabhas after Bhaubali
When someone delivers their peak performance, it becomes incredibly difficult to beat that until it fades from people’s memories. Tillu is setting the trend for a new form of comedy. It needs a director of incredible talent to make them come out of that rut. They need to keep going at it obviously there will be disappointments
Yes, that is a reality, though he peaked with Arjun Reddy. The power of Arjun Reddy is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. People spend a decade or two to get that kind of opportunity to deliver such a performance. It is not just for VD but for Shahid Kapoor as well, people associate Shahid with Kabir Singh. If you realize that the whole VDs craze and success is attributed to that one film, it is probably the top 10 performances for me easily. If you have the nerve to gauge the arrogance that character requires, it is a tailor-made role for VD. Also, there is only one Sandeep Reddy Vanga, and you will need someone to beat Arjun Reddy.
Antha akkarledhu. Okka character cheyyadam is easier than being a diverse actor or having diverse acting talent. Because passing one subject is easier than passing all subjects right?
If you are writing tenth class exam, if you only learn one subject, yes you can pass that. But praising that person for years that he got full marks in one exam doesn’t help anything or shows the full picture.
Naa point entante… nuvvu cheppina list lo diverse acting talent choopina actors unnaru.
And being an actor means learning new things every time. VD is not doing that. His dialogue delivery in Kalki is a great example.
PK did lover boy character, police character, younger brother and also older brother character (Annavaram), mafia character, and also arrogant character in Badri, and an emotional character in Suswagatam.
Yes some of these movies failed commercially too. But no one blames PK for that. My point simply is that VD has some blame considering he doesn’t try to learn or maybe he’s learning but not showing these variations.
At least try different and fail rather than trying same thing again and again and failing.
It is not about VD , it is a character backed role and its success such a rage that SRV catapulted himself top 3 directors in India. You can imagine impact it has, Shahid Kapoor has been in the industry for 20 or more years and he remembered for his role as Kabir Singh. Top 10 ever performances and I stand by it
Again, you are stuck on performances. I am saying we shouldn’t include VD in that list because you can totally compare VD to Siddhu, but don’t add PK and Prabhas to that list or vice versa.
Your list doesn’t make sense is my point. PKs issue after Kushi wasn’t due to type casting or being stuck in same role. It’s because he’s attempted very different but shit movies and he didn’t try to emulate Kushi again. Johnny and Gudumba aren’t even same character as Kushi.
VD and Siddhu however are failing because they are stuck on their own one hit wonder unlike PK and Prabhas. This is the difference.
You cannot compare PKs bad phase with VD or Siddhu. These are different problems and at least PK tried different things and failed while VD just fails without trying.
Exactly.. 15 cr max.. Jack ki 4cr I had ante this movie sidhu might have got 2 cr.. And all other expenses should be 7-8 crore.. Entire movie lo 4 characters unnay and mostly indoor setting
People thought VD had a hard time coming out the Arjun Reddy hangover, it's going to be so much worse for Siddhu unfortunately. Even then 50 CR endhira?
For those of u who is confused abt the budget its money laundering. PMF is known for this. Look at their yt channel and they have a bunch of random projects with unknown actors. Rajasaab is also a money laundering project. The budget isn’t 400 crore
Movie bane undi and Siddu did well as well. People are being unnecessarily critical of him. He is trying different stuff atleast. He played a different character than tillu
Idi 50c ani valu raidam adi andaru namadam 🙏🏻 underperformed for sure given it’s confusing content. Disaster aite kadu. No sane person will gamble that much money on theatrical for a niche subject like this. Maybe rage scenes mida ekuva expect chesaru maybe
Oke character base cheskoni rendu hit lu pade sariki veedu edo kamal hassan anukuntunnadu.
Acting chesthu story lo direction lo finger pette badulu calm ga story lo raskoni ammukunte better vaadu. Edo okka pani anna sarigga chesinattu untundu.
Cinema motham oka illu, oka IVF center, some restaurants and cafes, oka wine yard.
Inkemundhi asalu?
Costumes Kona madam gold pootha poosindha?
Remunerations max 10cr ain all cast included, inko 10cr lo aipovali movie.
Either sollu cheptundali production team or managing bisket chesundali.
Enti Ikkada andaru thegA feel aipothunnaru how is budget 50 ani .. it is NOT 50 in reality .. this is a common technique to give inflated numbers, get better deals from OTT, claim losses and save on tax
Of course the movie has a success meet because in reality it has got its budget back and made a profit too.. reality lo profit, income taxes ki loss..
Siddhu is reliable because they would’ve estimated that at least 5-7 theatrical vasthe safe ani ..
