Interesting 1 Lakh Story: Ravipudi’s Full Circle Moment With NTR Arts

NTR and Anil Ravipudi’s project was announced suddenly. Names like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, and Pawan Kalyan were rumored, but NTR’s inclusion was a big surprise to everyone.

NTR Arts will produce the film and it is set to be a jackpot given the craze the film will evoke. There is an interesting story involving Anil Ravipudi and NTR Arts.

Anil started his career by directing Pataas for NTR Arts. NTR Arts’ Hari is a hard taskmaster. During Patas shoot, Anil had to shoot Sonu Sood for an extra day.

In those days, Sonu Sood used to charge One Lakh per Day. Hari got agitated by the extra money and so questioned the director.

Anil reportedly asked to cut that One Lakh from his Salary. Back then, his remuneration is just 16 Lakhs for Pataas. To ask the Producer to cut from his Salary was a Sensational Statement for any debut director to make.

Hari’s ego got hurt and he even debited the money. Later after these many years, they are coming back.

Now Anil Ravipudi is one of the most sought directors in Tollywood and he will make this film completely on his terms. There is a good chance that it is the most profitable project in NTR Arts history.
