If Telugu cinema has to he divided into two parts strictly on boxoffice things, then it is before Baahubali and after Baahubali.The biggest motion picture now has the biggest influence on Indian filmmakers.
It changed the mindsets telling them to do big and aim big.Thanks to Baahubali, market expansion is the new boxoffice trend in Tollywood.Big stars are leaving no stone unturned to make their projects bigger and universal enough to build the hype.
We already knew that Prabhas’s next, Saaho will be made upon a massive budget of 150cr.
The subject is based upon an air flying squad which requires meaty budget.Makers are importing Hollywood technicians to handle the scale of the film.
It is heard that 35cr will be spent on one single action episode.Ever heard of such thing happening in a Telugu film ?
The biggies Chiranjeevi and Mahesh Babu don’t want to fall short of the rising pan India star Prabhas.While Spyder is a bilingual made with some 100-125cr, Chiranjeevi too joined the big budgeted list with Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy.Spyder is a spy triller on the lines of James Bond films and Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy is a historical film set in 1840’s.
Both these films need some standards in VFX work.Budget of both the films will cross 100cr mark for obvious and ambitious reasons
A great sign as the makers are trying to explore new genres and markets.
Hopefully, all three ambitious films Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy, Spyder and Saaho work.Audience would soon get rid of typical mass masala films.A much needed change.
