According to reliable sources, leading Telugu filmmaker Koratala Siva has taken a hefty `30 crore as remuneration for his work in Devara Part 1.
“He has spent more than two years working on the script and making it too,” says the source, adding, “He was looking to make a comeback of sorts and worked hard on the story since he didn’t want to miss a big chance with superstar Jr NTR. Their earlier film Janatha Garage was a hit and NTR was shown in a new role as a nature-lover, who transforms into a tough guy and makes mincemeat of the corrupt and hooligans.”
“Koratala Siva has made a proper commercial film with a mix of romance and action and loads of glamour too, since he is determined to deliver a money spinner after his last release Acharya fetched him more brickbats than box office collections,” the source shares.
Siva was at one time in the A-listers league after delivering hits with stars like Prabhas and Mahesh Babu, but the dismal performance of Acharya dented his rating a bit. “He is keen to bounce back with a bang,” the source stresses.
