Earlier this morning social media has abuzz that Eros International had come up with a deal of Rs.300 crores with Prince Mahesh. However, it was not mentioned how many films that Mahesh and Eros would be working for this biggest ever deal of Tollywood. Most importantly, Mahesh's remuneration in this deal was not disclosed.
And this afternoon, social media speculated that Mahesh had been paid Rs.25 crores as his remuneration for Murugadoss' project. Mahesh was also said to be the only hero of Tollywood to have charged the biggest ever remuneration.
And late in the night, a number one news channel revealed that Mahesh had been paid Rs.23 crores for Murugadoss' film. It was specially mentioned as the never seen record for any Tollywood hero. Hearing various reports on the remuneration of their hero, fans have gone sceptical and are hoping all the media houses should come up with the same reports on Maheshs remuneration else movie patrons might raise several doubts on the exact remuneration of Mahesh.
Interestingly, various reports on the budget of Mahesh and Murugadoss film were heard on social media. Some of the media houses mentioned the movie would be made with Rs.110 crores while some other media houses reported it would be confined to Rs.80 crores. The makers should have taken all the necessary care to ensure the similar details of remuneration of Mahesh and budget of the movie published/posted in the media.
" In the current scenario, young heroes are cutting down their remunerations as part of cost cutting measures of their movies and this healthy trend is definitely a welcome move by them. Heroes like Mahesh should also break the conventions to make sure their films getting blockbuster statuses," says a trade expert.
