The success of Race Gurram had upped expectations from Surender Reddy.
On the other hand, the overseas market is a strange market as the equations and combinations that work there is very different from how they work here.
Films that work really well here don’t do so well out there. Also, the overseas audiences usually go by the directors instead of the hero.
One director who catapulted into big league with Race Gurram is Surendra Reddy. Naturally, there are sky-high expectations from Kick 2.
Talk from overseas is that the film’s rights have been bagged for Rs 2 crores. Of course, it is a risky proposition as 40 per cent of the money goes off in costs.
So, if Kick 2 has to start making money, it has to cross the Rs 4 crore mark.
And if that is to happen, then the film has to get 3 star rating or higher. And if Surender did pull off the same levels of comedy and entertainment in Kick 2, then the film will be a sure-shot hit.
Meanwhile, one director who has very good market in the US is Trivikram. So, it is said that S/O Satyamurthy managed to make Rs 6 crores on the film prior to the release.
