It is heard that when ‘Dookudu’ producers approached Mahesh he said “My dates are with Ramesh Babu, please go and buy from him.” Mahesh was reportedly given a remuneration of Rs 10 crores by the producers and they bought the dates from Ramesh Babu. Also, he was given 20% share in profits.
Now, something similar was also repeated with Mahesh Babu’s ‘The Businessman’. The prince reportedly told R R Movies Venkat to buy dates from Manjula, his sister. But Venkat being a smart businessman understood the loop and instead of profit shares, it is heard that he gave Rs 3 crores to Manjula and signed her off.
When asked about the profit share, Venkat reportedly said to Manjula “The profit share we will deal with Mahesh.” That way, Mahesh added few extra crores to his package and gave a piece of it to his siblings as well, as per the reports.
