As we all know, Prince Mahesh Babu's Maharshi was produced by Dil Raju, Aswini Dutt and PVP jointly. It's now alleged that rifts between Dil Raju and Aswini Dutt in financial issues are making the film's team worried.
Initially, Dil Raju was supposed to produce Maharshi. Since it has been a long time wish for Aswnini Dutt to bankroll a project with Mahesh and the advance was also given to Mahesh Babu long ago, Mahesh inducted Aswini Dutt into production team. To compensate Brahmotsavam losses, PVP was also given a chance to produce Maharshi.
Mahesh Babu's star power made the film done a fabulous pre release business worth Rs.130 crores. Yet, none of the producers is in delight with the business as the production cost has been shot up to sky level.
Reportedly, Dil Raju said he hasn't earned any profit on Maharshi and it had been a loss venture for him. While, Dil Raju is in a state of despair, Aswini Dutt wants Rs.10 crores profit in the least case. He wanted to acquire entire Krishna district's rights with him which is turned down by Dil Raju.
"If at all I can't gain Rs.10 crores profit, what would be use of producing a Mahesh Babu's film?", questions Aswini Dutt. It seems it's high time Mahesh Babu intervened the issue and should ensure the episode is sorted out. As the film heads for release in just 10 days, the alleged rifts among producers do no good to the film.
