Lorry
Driver, Rowdy Inspector, Samarasimha Reddy and Narasimha
Naidu - these four films talk much about the lethal
combination of B Gopal and Balayya that smashed all
the records at box office to pieces. We have the fifth
film from this super combination in the next month,
which is expected to be titled as Palnadu.
We
have taken Krishna district as an example to illustrate
the craze B Gopal - Balayya combination boasts of. Balayya's
Seemasimham was bought for 70 lakhs for Krishna district
and it could amass only 45 lakhs of share. Balayya's
Chennakesava Reddy did a business of 60 lakhs. With
this kind of history, Haritha film distributors - who
hit gold by distributing Idiot film - are reportedly
said to have paid an astonishing amount of 1.3 crores
for B Gopal - Balayya film in the offing.
The
unit of 'Palnadu' has previewed the 10 reels of the
film shot so far and as per the insider's reports, this
film has come out extremely well. The producer Medikonda
Murali Krishna is reportedly said to have invested 16
crores so far in the production of the film. He cannot
make any table profit for this film, because of the
high budget. However, he retained a few areas for himself
and sold the remaining areas in NRA basis, as he is
confident that this film too would become an industry
hit like Narasimha Naidu.
With
Nijam and Johhny being hyped beyond the capacity, Balayya's
Palnadu is turning out to be an underdog. It's going
to be a definite advantage for the film.
