SS Rajamouli & Mahesh Babu’s salary for SSMB 29
According to a source close to the development, SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu have ditched the usual salary pattern to sign a profit-sharing deal. “S Rajamouli has faith on his craft and Mahesh Babu is trusting his stardom. The duo has entered into a backend deal to not burden the project with high fees. The idea is to create cinema that creates a legacy for the cinema-going audience across the board. Both Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli have struck a 40% profit-sharing deal with the producers,” the report states.
SSMB 29 Budget
Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumar will be reportedly made on a budget of a whopping 1000 crores. It will leave behind Pushpa 2, Ramayan, and all other biggies to become the most expensive film ever made in India. But this may be the last project that will witness Rajamouli collaborate with other producers.
The source adds, “SS Rajamouli has kept his word of making films for producers D. V. V. Danayya & Narayana K.L. which was committed when he took signing amounts before the release of Baahubali. He chose to keep his commitment & not return the money which was an easier option. After SSMB 29, he will be a solo producer for all his films and directly partner with studios.”
The makers may reportedly tie up with a global studio and are currently in talks with Sony and Disney.
