Koratala Siva Settles Down For ‘Normal’ Option

Naturally, there is a cop role in #NBK112 also, and Koratala wanted an A-list star from another tinsel town to play the role.

Koratala Siva Settles Down For ‘Normal’ Option

Well, some time ago, there were rumours everywhere that the supposed film of Nandamuri Balakrishna and Koratala Siva was put on hold for ‘budget’ reasons. Though ‘Team Koratala’ gave statements that none of that is true, it looks like a major budget reshuffle has now happened for the project, and things are looking steady.

Back in the day, whenever Koratala Siva is doing a film, whether it is Mirchi or Janatha Garage, he always has very high-profile senior stars doing character roles, and they demanded crores. Naturally, there is a cop role in #NBK112 also, and Koratala wanted an A-list star from another tinsel town to play the role. That particular star has demanded nearly ₹8-10 crores to play the part. Finally, they have settled down with Tamil hero Arya to do the role, and the budget is almost 1/4th of what was asked by the other star.

If Koratala Siva settles down for normal options, they say that the film could be wrapped well within the market range of Nandamuri Balakrishna. Else, the film should work out at the box office like an Irumudi, to make sure that it works better. But that magic is not possible every time, so better settle down for normal options only.
