Mythri Movie Makers, one of India’s leading production houses, celebrated a decade in the film industry this year. Known for collaborating with top pan-India stars, the banner recently made its Tamil and Hindi debut with Good Bad Ugly and Jaat. Both films delivered decent box office numbers, though the returns were moderate compared to their budgets.
Currently, Mythri is gearing up for the release of the Tamil film Dude, starring Pradeep Ranganathan and directed by Keerthiswaran. The film is set to release on October 17 in both Tamil and Telugu. On Wednesday, producers Naveen Yerneni and Ravi Shankar held a media interaction to promote the film and share updates on their upcoming projects.
Speaking about Good Bad Ugly, starring Ajith Kumar and directed by Adhik Ravichandran, the producers said,
“We’re happy with the film. It turned out to be a big grosser for Ajith Kumar. While the profits were moderate, we didn’t incur losses. It gave us a strong entry into Tamil cinema, and we plan to collaborate with Ajith again in the future.”
Addressing the recent controversy where Netflix removed Good Bad Ugly due to a case filed by Ilayaraja, they clarified,
“We purchased the rights for the songs from Sony Music, paying around ₹15–20 lakh per song. The dispute is between Ilayaraja and Sony Music. The songs have been temporarily replaced, and a verdict is expected on October 16. We followed all legal procedures and have the documents, so we cannot comment further while the case is ongoing.”
Regarding Jaat, starring Sunny Deol and directed by Gopichand Mallineni, they stated,
“The film performed well at the box office, though it didn’t generate huge profits. There’s already anticipation for Jaat 2. Several parties, including OTT platforms, have approached us. We plan to start Jaat 2 soon. If Gopichand Mallineni is unavailable, we will consider another director.”
For the upcoming Dude, the producers added,
“The film is primarily made in Tamil, but we expect good performance in Telugu as well. The film has made a table profit of around ₹35 crore. Pradeep’s last film earned about ₹31 crore in Tamil Nadu and ₹12 crore in Telugu states, so anything above that will be considered a success. We are releasing it ourselves across all regions.”
Overall, Mythri Movie Makers has shown strong returns from smaller-budget films compared to some larger projects, and the banner continues to expand its presence across multiple languages and regions, reaffirming its position as a prominent player in Indian cinema.
