Budgets are now upwards of Rs 200 Cr: Mahesh Babu

Mahesh Babu has been busy with ‘Sarkaru Vaari Paata’, which is all set to hit the screens in 2022. Directed by Parasuram Petla, it has Keerthy Suresh as the female lead.

Meanwhile, the actor has spoken with an English-language daily. He touched upon his personal and professional life. Talking about the increasing stakes, the ‘Sarileru Neekevvaru’ superstar said that budgets are rising these days. “It’s not just me who is involved in a film, but also distributors, exhibitors and others. Now the stakes are so high and budgets have risen, upwards of Rs 200 Cr,” Mahesh said.

He also revealed that, as a policy, he doesn’t discuss the films he signs even with his wife.

There is a strong buzz that ‘SVP’ will be postponed to Summer because Rajamouli’s ‘Roudram Ranam Rudhiram’ and Prabhas’ ‘Radhe Shyam’ are going to come out on January 7 (2022) and January 14 (2022), respectively. ‘SVP’ is an action thriller with high-octane action sequences.
