Renowned filmmaker BVS Ravi has expressed concerns that Aditya Dhar's blockbuster film Dhurandhar may mark the beginning of the end for Telugu producers. In an interview, Ravi praised Aditya's vision and the film's massive budget of ₹260 crore.
Ravi noted that Dhurandhar's success, with a budget of ₹260 crore for both parts, is a significant achievement, especially considering the film's 8-hour runtime and impressive locations. He questioned why Tollywood couldn't achieve similar results, attributing it to the producer's planning during pre-production and production.
Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, has collected over ₹1300 crore worldwide and has crossed ₹1600 crore worldwide with its sequel, despite not releasing in the Gulf countries. The film's massive success has set a new bar for the industry, leaving Telugu producers to ponder their future.
