Director Rajamouli underestimates Eega

Director Rajamouli got the shock of his life when Eega’s Tamil version Naan Ee rights were sold for Rs. 3.35 crore rupees. Rajamouli sold the Tamil rights of Eega to PVP cinemas for Rs. 5 crore. He thought that he has oversold the film and has been regretting it.

But when he came to know that Naan Ee satellite rights itself made 3.35 crores, he got a feeling that he undersold it. That is how film business is. One cannot estimate the caliber of his own film. Someone gets benefitted by taking the risk.
Even making 5 crore from the Tamil version isn’t a joke. It is very hard for a Telugu film to get such an offer from the Tamil producers. Eega proved that there is enough craze for Telugu films in Tamilnadu than our makers think.
