Producer Dil Raju is not just betting heavily on this Sankranthi, but he has virtually declared two big battles with a single opponent. And if at all we have to be more precise, he is risking for this Sankranthi, not once but twice. Well, this is no philosophical stuff about the gigantic producer, here goes the detail about the double risk.
To recuperate from the big losses incurred in the recent times, Raju is moving his pawns aggressively on distribution front. After acquiring the theatrical rights of Nandamuri Kalyanram’s Pataas, he has now secured the Nizam rights of Pawan-Venky’s Gopala Gopala too. Pataas is gearing up for January 9th release and Gopala Gopala will bank on Jan 13 or 14th. Coming to the battles, Raju’s prime opponent is Shankar’s ‘I’, which is by all possible ways getting ready to hit on Sankranthi even.
However, there is no clarity if they will pick Jan 9th or 14th, but 14th is the date heard among trade circles. In case, if Pataas and Gopala Gopala score a blockbuster hit, then Raju will have no looking back. But if these films beget average talk on day one, then ‘I’ presence is going to affect their money minting capabilities. Even if I flopped heavily, family audiences love to show such fantasy stuff to their children.
So, the Tamil dubbed flick will have slight advantage over its Telugu counterparts. If Gopala Gopala clicked heavily and Pataas, I fails to evince interest, then our producer has to suffer for Pataas. Sankranthi 2015 is going to be a bigger battle for Dil Raju than ever for the kind of amounts he has invested and the double risk he is facing. Anyway, he is a shrewd businessman with perfect calculation for everything. Wish him luck!!
