Eagle Makers finding no Takers. According to reliable sources, the latest offering from seasoned star Ravi Teja, titled 'Eagle,' is reportedly facing challenges in securing buyers, largely due to the perceived high pricing quoted by the producers. A source reveals, "Negotiations are still ongoing in some areas, and discussions are yet to be finalized. The caution among distributors stems from Ravi Teja's recent films like 'Ravanasura' and 'Tiger Nageshwara Rao,' which failed to resonate with Telugu viewers."
The much-anticipated movie, produced by People Media Factory, is also grappling with the closure of its Hindi dubbing rights. Producers are currently engaged in negotiations with Bollywood distributors, attempting to strike a favorable deal. The source notes, "While Hindi dubbing rights can be a significant revenue stream for star-studded movies, 'Eagle's rates are on the higher side, causing delays in finalizing the deal."
With just two weeks remaining until the film's release, concerns are mounting among the producers. The source underscores the distributors' reluctance to take significant risks, especially in light of the industry's tendency to base deals on past hits and flops.
As 'Eagle' is slated to clash with other major releases like 'Guntur Kaaram' and 'Saindhav' during the Pongal holidays, there is a suggestion that the producers might consider a more opportune release date. The source explains, "Ravi Teja requires a substantial number of theaters for a strong opening and sustained collections. If things don't fall into place, they might contemplate rescheduling."
Undoubtedly, Ravi Teja finds himself at a crucial juncture, given his recent lackluster performances. The success of the action-adventure film 'Eagle' is seen as imperative for him to make a resounding comeback and silence his critics.
