Rajnikanth and Pa. Ranjith combination as scared many distributors and buyers. They are not showing any interest in buying the film for fancy rates.
Even when the rates have been decreased they are unable to trust Pa. Ranjith as the previous movie of this combination, Kabali, flopped miserably.
That movie was bought for Rs. 35 crores in just Two Telugu states but it ended up making less than Rs. 12 crores it seems.
Now, when the Lyca Productions who bought the distribution rights in Telugu and Tamil, asked for Rs. 25 crores, none of the distributors came forward.
Finally, on commission basis, NV Prasad and Dil Raju came forward to release the film. The entire profit and loss will go to producers, in this case, presenters, Lyca Productions and the two big distributors will get some percentage as commission.
Well, this is a never expected situation for Rajni film and this could be the film, with least buzz from him, in years.
