Sun Pictures with  India - overseas are happy has the satellite - OTT- Hindi dubbing digital rights to cover make frofuts as the film budget is Rs 180 crores. Sun Pictures has come to a conclusion that  the budget should be lesser than Annaatthe and the price of the lead actor should be decided on the business  from Tamil Nadu that the Star generates. The business acumen of using Qube to garner most revenue abroad has helped Sun Pictures to breathe easy. Rajinikanth salary of Rs 100 crore could not be generated and even if the rains had not played havoc, the figures would have fallen short by Rs10-15 crores. Secondly, the Andhra market giving the film a lukewarm response has baffled the producers.
