Despite the courageous move of Dil Raju to release ‘Rudhramadevi’ in Nizam region is a morale booster for Gunasekhar, he is still waiting for the right time. When ‘Bahubali’ is reported unofficially of missing the May season due to delayed post production works, there can’t be a better time for ‘Rudhramadevi’ to exploit this big gap. As of now, ‘S/O Sathya Murthy’ is the only film to rule the BO till ‘Lion’ arrives.
From there on, it could be either ‘Bahubali’ or ‘Rudhramadevi.’ However, reports from close film circles are saying that Gunasekhar is keenly observing the post production works while Ilayaraja is sitting tight in London to complete the re-recording. Once these works are done, Guna will seriously negotiate with buyers in many areas on the best pre release deal.
Having invested more than needed, Guna needs to recover major part of his budget in pre release duration. Till the time he is contented with the balance sheet, ‘Rudhramadevi’ may not see the light.
