Tollywood is well known for its flamboyant spending on movies.Infact it stands next to Bollywood in entire India and Number one in South India.Minimum budget for any star hero will be greater than thirty crores.So now the question that arises is, do we really see that mammoth budget on the silver screen.Most of the movies bag complaints from critics about the quality shortcomings.
After intense study, here we bring you few interesting facts about the Tollywood budget allocations.The pay packet of other Telugu stars is getting bloated day by day.In recent years, no film featuring an A-list star has been made with less than Rs 30 crores.On an average close to 20-25 percent of a film's budget goes as the hero's remuneration and another 40 percent for other technicians.Only 30-40 percent is actually spent spent on the shooting of a movie.
But even as the rates of stars have shot up astronomically, the Telugu film industry's success rate at the box office dismally low.Last year, the debacle of films like Shakti, Badrinath, Panjaa came as a rude shock to the Industry and generated a debate on the need for revising the remuneration of stars to keep budgets under control.
Allu Arjun- Trivikram laid first step towards this by reducing their remuneration to a great extent.Lets hope our heroes understand this to improve the quality of movie making and showcase Tollywood in a much more elevated platform.
