Producer Ram Talluri signed two films deal with mass maharaja Raviteja and their first venture Nela Ticket helmed by Kalyan Krishna Kurasala was an epic disaster. Ram Talluri is now making his second production Disco Raja with Raviteja and the film is directed by VI Anand whose last movie Okka Kshanam was a disaster.
As per the deal, Ram Talluri should pay 10 Cr for each film. He indeed gave full payment to Raviteja for Nela Ticket and he didn’t even ask the actor to reduce his pay for Disco Raja. However, Raviteja who feels it’s not right to charge the same pay as the producer incurred heavy losses with their previous film has given discount this time. Raviteja is charging only 60% of his usual pay, that is he will be taking home only Rs 6 crores.
Payal Rajput is the leading lady in Disco Raja which is billed to be a scientific thriller. SS Thaman scores music and the film is likely to release later this year.
