For the first time in Telugu film industry, a top-rated director has pocketed such a fancy amount as advance payment, says a source. Going into details, creative director Sukumar who spun box-office magic with his rural-centric saga 'Rangasthalam' and also won critical acclaim for the authentic recreation of 1980s and also for extracting career best performances from Ram CharanTej and Samantha.
According to the source, Sukumar reportedly received Rs 6 crore as advance pay from the top-notch production house Mythri Movies for their next film with superstar Mahesh Babu. "It is the highest advance amount received by a director in recent times.
Surely, Sukumar is the flavour of the season. He is also being hailed as the director with a Midas touch. He is one of the few directors who can blend the commercial and creative elements in equal measure," adds the source. Strange are the ways of T-town filmmakers. Now that he has delivered a hit, he is praised and paid handsomely.
Just a few years ago, nobody was willing to touch him even with a barge pole when he dished out a dud like ‘1 Nenokkadine’. Nonetheless, the ‘Nannakku Prematho' helmer has thumbed down four to five plum offers in the last month alone, because he prefers to concentrate on one film at a time. Good thinking indeed!
