Telugu film industry is hero centric. Commercial equations and manipulations here are totally hero oriented. Forget about other artists and technicians, when a star hero like Pawan Kalyan is into the team, rest everything becomes insignificant.
Current Trivikram Srinivas directorial with Power Star as hero is following the same formula. Selection of Keerthy Suresh and Anu Emmanuel as heroines besides Pawan clearly explains the financial theory written by Trivikram in background.
While Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram Srinivas are said to pocket more than 75 Crores from a total of approximate 100 Crores budget allocated by China Babu of Haarika Hassine Creations, what’s left for actual production and post production is meager.
Without letting the funds go loose on heroines’ remunerations, Trivikram plucked Keerthy, Anu from fresh lot. Bottom line is transparent; Trivikram believed more in hero’s Box Office pulling potentiality and not the heroine. There’s a profitable lesson to learn for many directors from Trivikram.
