Director Anil Ravipudi has wrapped up the entire shooting part of “Sarileru Neekevvaru” in a flat five months’ time.
Any big star movie takes a minimum of eight months to be completed. Some directors take even more than a year’s time.
But Anil Ravipudi is one of the few directors who can finish any movie under six months which saves huge production costs for the producer. More so if it is a star-studded film like “Sarileru Neekevvaru”.
Anil Ravipudi should be commended for this great planning and execution. However, the director, for the first time in his career, has crossed the budget limits.
When the film was launched the producers thought of wrapping it in a limited budget so that they can reap in good profits since the entire Satellite-Digital-HindiDubbing rights went to Mahesh Babu.
Anil Ravipudi has extensively used massive sets for this movie that include Kurnool Buruju, a house set for Vijayashanti with a huge farm, several other sets for songs and sequences. These sets were the main reason for the excessive production cost.
As the film crossed the budget, now the producers are left with slender profits.
