Superstar Mahesh Babu is going to become the highest paid actor ever in Telugu Cinema history.
If the buzz from film circles is to be believed, Mahesh will be paid a whopping Rs. 52 crore as remuneration for his next film with Anil Ravipudi.
Mahesh's film usually does around Rs. 150 crore business via theatrical and non-theatrical venues. With F2 director on board, Mahesh's next may get better deals too.
Anil Ravipudi is not someone who spends a lot on the making of a movie. He wraps up any movie under six months and within the estimated budget.
Anil Ravipudi has given a budget estimate of Rs. 50 crore for Mahesh's film without the lead actor's remuneration.
If Ravipudi finishes the film within the given budget then the producers will make huge profits on it, which is why they have offered Rs. 52 crore for Mahesh.
Producer is also willing to give partnership for Mahesh if he doesn't want to take fixed remuneration.
In any case, Mahesh will be getting minimum Rs. 50 crore for the film thus making him the first Telugu hero to get there.
