Dulquer Salmaan next biopic on M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar - Kanguva VFX bills


 Dulquer Salmaan next to go on floors is Kaantha. This Tamil film directed by Selvaraj Selvamani was launched on September this year. It has Bhagyashrii  Borse as the female lead along with Kirti Shetty. Rana Daggubati is co producing it with Dulquer/ This is the third biopic of Dulquer and he has stated that after this it is goodbye to biopics. He acted in  Mahanati as Gemini Ganesan and in Kurup as Sukumara Kurup. In this movie he acts as M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar the legendary singer and movie star. The film traces out the highs and lows of MKT. His rubin with journalist Laxmikaanthan and reached a pinnacle when he murdered the scribe. He was jailed and later released.

Bhagavathar was arrested in 1944 as one of the main suspects in the Lakshmikanthan Murder Case and spent three years in prison before being released in 1947 after a Judicial Committee of the Privy Council verdict came in his favour. Nevertheless, he  still drew huge crowds at his concerts. He had lost almost all his wealth in his case defense. In 1934, he made his début in films with the movie Pavalakkodi which turned out to be a hit. From 1934 to 1959, Bhagavathar acted in 14 films of which 10 were box-office hits.

Bhagyashri featured in the Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk ad which added to her fame and opened doors for her in showbiz. 

Bhagyashri Borse made her acting debut with Divya Khosla Kumar starrer Yaariyan 2. In the movie, she played a minor role and essayed the character of Raaji Cariappa. Bhagyashri will play the female lead in Kaantha and the film is produced by Rana Daggubati in collaboration with DQ. Her film Chandu Champion of Kartik Aryan is streaming on OTT. She has a film opposite Vijay Devarakonda.



Why Kanguva could cost Rs 300 crores ?

They are using the Alexa LF & Super 35 Cameras whose license alone is $ 50,000 a day each, so 30 days means $ 3 Million Or ₹ 24 Crore right there for the Cameras and Technicians and Technology

Spectroscopic 3D conversion for 150 minutes film averages $ 60,000 a minute or $ 9 Million Or ₹74/75 Crore

That's ₹100 Crore right there on these two technologies that give you the visuals you need

Now I don't know their IMAX deal whether IMAX paid for formatting or they paid for formatting which is another ₹4–6 Crore

Typically a film like RRR had 150 VFX Frames and they say Kanguva has 220, a record

220 VFX frames by the Los Angeles Company Supervisor is an average or $ 40, 000 a frame or $ 8.8 Million Or ₹74 Crore

That's ₹180 Crore on the Visuals and Print and Lenses alone

Good News

The Good news is finally Kollywood is paying good money for the best technology in the market for A Class visuals

So no paying Suriya 150 Crore salary and spending half of that on the rest of the film

Yes the VFX isn't from one of the top 3 who make frames for Marvel or Fox but for that we would need ₹3000 Crore not ₹300 Crore

Still like I said this is the best money can buy for an Indian film in terms of lenses, camera and print

So well done Gnanavel Raja👏👏👏




Break even

In TN -

Break even is ₹158 Crore

Hit is ₹ 195 Crore

Superhit is ₹230 Crore

So let's say ₹160 Crore in TN means film has managed it

You think it will be Thangalaan 2.0????
