Anyways, a talk making rounds in filmnagar is that Sidz had quoted a whopping Rs 4 crores as remuneration for his project with director Nandini Reddy being produced by Bellamkonda Suresh. However, it is heard that Bellamkonda was cheesed off by hearing that and literally walked out. But then, the update is that Sidz reduced his figure and settled for Rs 1.25 crores.
Inside talk is that Siddarth had no qualms in quoting the hiked fee. Sources say it was due to the intervention of a big producer that mediating happened and Sidz was offered Rs 1.25 crores along with overseas rights. The shooting will commence soon.
The cine folks who heard this also add “Siddarth did something similar with ‘Oh My Friend’ and took the overseas rights along with remuneration. However, he had to give it away to producer Dil Raju for around Rs 70 lakhs. Still, he is busy publicizing that Dil Raju was so impressed that he bought back the overseas rights.”
