₹20 Cr Budget Hike For Vishwambhara VFX!

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambhara is one of the upcoming Telugu films that has already attracted criticism. The film’s first teaser, intended to hype expectations surrounding the film, has drawn criticism for the poor quality of the visual effects work. The team learned a lesson and started working on it, which is causing the delay for the film’s release. Now, we hear that the team is investing more money to get the VFX right.

Many Tollywood films, including those with smaller budgets, are now producing world-class VFX work. To match those standards, Chiranjeevi reportedly instructed the director and his team to ensure high-quality visuals for his film as well. According to insider reports, the team has allocated an additional ₹20 crore specifically for certain scenes and to enhance the visual effects. It remains to be seen whether this ₹20 crore budget hike will be sufficient to meet the massive VFX demands.

We hear that the team underwent some reshoots and is also improving many VFX sequences in various ways. This is an effort to address the heavy criticism the teaser received for its poor VFX. Since it’s a larger-than-life film and a socio-fantasy project for Chiru after a long time, expectations will naturally be high. The team wants to strike a chord well with the audience.

While the director’s father claimed that the teaser shots were AI-generated, the team is now working on enhancing the VFX based on feedback from the teaser. The film, in general, relies heavily on the VFX and the makers must find a way to satisfy the audiences with a convincing output.
