Venkatesh is all excited about doing Janaganamana with Puri Jagannadh, but the budget estimate has put this project in a fix.
Puri gave an estimate of Rs 45 crore which is well over Venkatesh’s market range. Venky can pull off a film made in Rs. 25 to Rs. 30 crore budget, but Jagan is asking for more as the script demands high budget.
Puri wrote this script keeping Mahesh in mind, but opted for Venky as Mahesh is currently busy with other assignments.
Puri could have easily got 50 crore budget for a Mahesh film. It is a big ask for a Venkatesh film that Suresh Babu is looking to tie up with a corporate house.
As per buzz Suresh Babu is in talks with Eros Now to strike a deal. However, being aware of Venkatesh’s market, Eros Now is reluctant to invest in the project.
It remains to be seen whether Suresh Babu works a way around to get this film onto the floors.
