Business Man
The fact that it will be an uphill task for him to satisfy the appetite of Mahesh's fans post-Dookudu, doesn't seem to bog down Puri Jagannath a bit. In trying to make The Businessman the biggest Sankranthi flick of 2012, RR Venkat and he are pulling all stops.
Set to release in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam on January 11, 2012, the Mahesh-Kajal Agarwal film, based in Mumbai for good part, has everyone looking at it with renewed interest by the day. On the commercial front, the film is billed to be sold at more than what Dookudu could fetch for its producers even before the release. (Apparently, 14 Reels Entertainment earned Rs. 35 crores before it hit the theatres).
Be assured that we have got a lot on the platter. Thaman's music and other technical experts will make the film a treat to watch.
Prakash Raj is confronting Mahesh after a long time. Whether Puri's new film will be able to live up to the standards of Pokiri is a mute question. But, this much is sure: If The Businessman becomes a hit, it would earn more than Pokiri. If it is a not-so-universally acknowledged hit, it would earn like Ra.One. Any which way, it will make RR Venkat a richer businessman.
