Nandamuri Balakrishna has exciting films lined up, because apart from one with Gopichand Malineni, he has another with Anil Ravipudi. After the release of Boyapati Srinu’ magnum opus, the action drama Akhanda Balakrishna joined the sets of the yet-to-be-titled #NBK107 with Krack director Gopichand Malineni. Currently the shoot of #NBK107 is going on at the brisk pace. Anil Ravipudi’ previous offering was F3 starring Venkatesh Daggubatri, Varn Tej, Mehreen Pirzada and Tamannah Bhatia.
Anil Ravipudi has faced a big embarrassment because he has unwantedly increased the budgets of F3. The movie’s final production figures were close to what F2 had earned from the box office in its final run. F3 didn’t work as expected. Now the reports are coming that once again Anil Ravipudi is giving shock to the producers of Nandamuri Balakrishna starrer as he asked for a Rs 70 cr budget. It means, after including the publicity cost, the total budget will be Rs 80 Cr.
Balakrishna’ previous offering Akhanda helmed by Boyapati Srinu was made on the budget of Rs 65 cr. It means Anil Ravipudi is demanding Rs 15 Cr more than Boyapati Srinu for his project #NBK108 starring Balayya Babu. #NBK108 will be bankrolled by Sahu Garapati and Harish Peddi under Shine Screens banner.
