Shankar, who is doing the movie ‘Game Changer’ with Ram Charan, has officially announced with the poster that he has spent Rs.75 crores for the songs in this movie. Rs.75 crores means a big budget film can be made with a medium range hero… But do you know that Shankar, 27 years ago, spent Rs.2 crores for just one song…
In 1998, Prashanth and Aishwarya Rai acted in the movie ‘Jeans’. The film unit spent around Rs 2 crore for the song ‘Puvvullo Dagunna Prementho Atishayam’ in this movie. In this song, Shankar shows the seven wonders of the world. Due to shooting in seven countries and around seven strange things, Rs. 2 crores were spent for the song alone.
The 1998 release of Chiranjeevi’s movie ‘Bavagaroo Bagunnara’ is equivalent to the full budget. It is not surprising that such a Shankar has now spent Rs. 75 crores for the movie ‘Game Changer’.
Criticisms on Shankar’s direction started coming from ‘Shivaji’. Even though ‘Shivaji’ was a good grosser, fans were shocked to see Rajinikanth’s antics to become white. A director like Shankar was surprised to shoot such scenes.
After that, the movie ‘Robo’ also made bumper collections at the box office. But when it came to the second half, the trolls said that the difference between ‘robot’ and human was completely forgotten and the scenes were written in such a way that even the fans of the movie thought it was ‘too over’. But the movie became a bumper hit as it showed visuals that were never seen on the Indian screen before.
The last original hit in Shankar’s career was the movie ‘Robo’. After that, Shankar, who copied the Bollywood classic movie ‘Three Idiots’, made a flop with the movie ‘I’. The movie ‘2.0’, which was made to break the records of the movie ‘Baahubali’, failed to meet the expectations.
Fans have high hopes that Shankar will make a comeback with the movie ‘Game Changer’. However, this movie’s teaser and trailer are not new, so the effect is on the bookings. The advance bookings for the movie ‘Game Changer’, which is releasing on January 10, are going very well.
