Neither 14 Reels nor Mahesh Babu can be ready to disclose the net amount paid and received as a part of three movies deal signed between the two. Of course, taking Mahesh Babu’s market capacity, it will be a hefty deal indeed. However, the upsetting BO results of ‘1 Nenokkadine’ and ‘Aagadu’ made this deal unsuccessful. As per the film reports, Mahesh Babu has lost nearly 14 Crores of amount by slashing his remuneration.
Both ‘Aagadu’ and ‘1 Nenokkadine’ incurred losses for 14 Reels. They were not at all in a position to pay the total balance which the two parties agreed during the days of signing the official documents before ‘Dookudu.’ Star heroes showing their sympathy towards producers is not new in Tollywood. Earlier to Mahesh, there were Junior NTR, Ramcharan, Pawan Kalyan and others lost a share of their remuneration to help their producers.
