How Udhaynidhi Stalin helped Madhavan Rocketry ? / Soundarya hubby slams murder theory
To all those who have read about Udhaynidhi Stalin and his Red Giant Production company ( also distributes movies) having corned Kollywood and become the Monster that is crippling the industry, must read this piece of information that I came across in Reddit. I was taken aback that Udhay took this stance that whatever profi he got from Rocketry sales in Tamil Nadu went to a charity that Nambi Narayanan named. Nambi comes from Thiruvanthapuram my home town. I know the mood of the place when the ISRO spy scandal broke out and talks of our Leader Karunakaran being part of the ring that sold our space program secrets to foreign country agents.
It was later known that actually Nambi was a victim of a power play with Congress wing of Kerala. In fact Rocketry and through it BJP ( Modi) set right the wrong done by Congress. Now Stalin DMK and Congress are allies and there is no need to take up Rocketry distribution, as it is not hot property. Maddy is no great shakes in Tamil Nadu. If Red Giant is the Monster that is fleecing the producers and threatening theatres to screen his films he could have done it with Rocketry. But did not. Secondly report says that if at all the film gave him profits he was planning it to give to charity. I am surprised that the film in fact did this much business as I saw it in the company of a handful audience ( mostly love birds).
I am giving below the TN collection only. The post says Nambi Narayanan got Rs 2.5 crore for using his subject. Madhavan as producer made profits of Rs 15 crores in Indian business and he wants to give 50% of the profit to Nambi. For that he needs PMO and ISRO nod.
TN Theatrical Rights - Rs. 9.20 Crore [Red Giant]
TN Theatrical Gross - Rs. 21.70 Crore
TN Theatrical Net - Rs. 15.25 Crore
TN Theatrical Share - Rs. 6.50 Crore
TN Distributor Share - Rs. 8.75 Crore
Distributor LOSS - Rs. 0.45 Crore (LOSS) - 45 Lakhs Loss roughly
Report says :Udayanidhi was prepared for a far higher loss since this is a movie in which he expected no profit and even if he made any profit had planned to donate the profit to Nambi Narayan or Charity of Nambis choice.
So he felt the fact that he nearly recovered the entire investment is a Monumental Success for the Film

To North Indian film goers , Soundarya is known as Suryavamsh girl who acted opposite Big B. The film when released in theatres was a flop but on Sony Max it was a big hit. Anytime it was streamed, it created high TRP> Finally it is now going back to the Hindi rights owner GoldMine and they have a channel and a YouTube one too. In fact this film is a remake of a Tamil film with same name starring Sarathkumar- Devyani and Priya Raman. Directed by Vikraman, it was remake in Telugu by EVV. The film has through TV streaming collected Rs 50 crores.
The startling complaint that Telugu actor Mohan Babu engineered the helicopter crash that killed Soundarya and it was too usurp her farms in Andhra created a big buz. Now this statement; n response to these allegations, Soundarya’s husband, Raghu, issued a strong clarification. Dismissing the rumors, he stated, "False information about Mohan Babu and Soundarya's property in Hyderabad has been circulating. I categorically deny these baseless claims. Mohan Babu sir did not unlawfully acquire any property from my wife. To my knowledge, we have never engaged in any land transactions with him. I have known Mohan Babu for 25 years and share a friendly bond with him. We are like family. I request everyone to refrain from spreading false information and to bring an end to this unfounded speculation."
