Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film Thalaivi incurs losses worth Rs 5 crore

The Coronavirus has made a huge mess in the entertainment industry starting from people avoiding malls and theatres as they were scared which lead to films not doing well and then the ultimate lockdown which meant no movies in theatres. Among films, Angrezi Medium did receive a major blow in terms of box office numbers and as it turns out, there are other films that have had to bear losses as well. 

Reports suggest that Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film Thalaivi has already suffered a loss worth 5 crore due to the ongoing lockdown given the cost of the sets and rent on the studio. According to a source, the rent of the studio was paid for March but the studio in Hyderabad did not witness any shoot throughout the month, and further, it was also revealed that a 10-day window would help the team shoot the outdoor sequence. Sets were established in Hyderabad and Chennai but they have been rendered useless due to the lockdown, and if this extends further, there is a major chance that the sets will be ruined during monsoons.

The producer, Shailesh R Singh went on to say that the shoot has to be wrapped up before the rains and while the sets will, after all, be ruined and reconstruction will get expensive. The studio in Hyderabad has been set up as the Parliament House and Producer Vishnu Vardhan Induri revealed that Mount Road has been recreated at the AVM Studio in Chennai. He further revealed how patchwork was due to be shot there and 40 percent of the filming there is left while the Hyderbad shoot was canceled. The lockdown can surely be a major problem and as we can see it’s already creating issues to the movies that were supposed to be shot but now canceled. Well, we hope the virus is controlled so that the lockdown lifts and the entertainment industry can get back to its business.
