Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja is one of the bankable stars in Tollywood cinema. However, in the recent past, he scored multiple failures, and negativity surrounded him that he charges huge remuneration despite not having hit to his side. We hear that his current remuneration is around 18 Cr rupees.
Currently, Ravi Teja has three interesting films on hand. Ravi plays the lead role in Rama Rao on Duty, Dhamaka, and Ravanasura. All three films are in different stages of filmmaking. The actor is also essaying a key character in Chiranjeevi’s 154th film, which is tentatively titled Waltair Veerayya.
The reports in the film nagar say that Ravi Teja is charging 18 Cr rupees as remuneration for all the above films. The non-theatrical rights of Ravanasura have already been sold for a big price, according to the reports. On the other hand, with Mythri Movie Makers bankrolling Chiru154, it will also easily cross the breakeven mark.
But, this is not the case when it comes to Ravi Teja’s immediate release, Rama Rao on Duty. The film has to become a blockbuster in all cases. Gone are those days when Ravi Teja’s films easily used to do a theatrical business of 30 Cr rupees.
With the non-theatrical market growing rapidly and Ravi Teja’s remuneration, the producer is finding it tough to get back his investment through theatrical revenue. Only if Rama Rao On Duty becomes a blockbuster on screens, the film’s producer will be in a safe zone. The film’s success also decides the market value of Ravi Teja’s upcoming films.
A newcomer Sarath Mandava is debuting as a director with Rama Rao On Duty. Rajisha Vijayan and Divyansha Kaushik are playing the female leads. Venu Thottempudi is essaying a key role in the film.
Rama Rao On Duty is bankrolled jointly by SLV Cinemas and RT Team Works.
