Ravi Teja has turned his career around with Irumudi, which he made by taking the Nizam theatrical rights instead of an upfront fee. Sources say the film is on track to cross Rs 50 crore gross in Nizam alone, far more than his usual remuneration would have been. The profit-share model is now being considered for other pan-India projects.
The film's success has created unusual scenes too. In Makthal, Telangana, fans staged a dharna outside Venkataramana Theatre after Irumudi was removed for Yash's Toxic. The management reversed the decision after the protest. Separately, m9.news reports that Mythri Movie Makers had earlier dropped Ravi Teja from a project due to his weak market, replacing him with Sunny Deol. That film, Jaat, was an average performer. Irumudi has since become a genuine blockbuster for the same banner, drawing organic audience demand that even some Tier-1 stars failed to generate.
Indian Opinion Analysis
greatandhra's business-like report frames the profit-share deal as a strategic market correction, omitting the personal snub angle that m9.news pushes hard. m9.news uses the Mythri-Sunny Deol switch to build a dramatic redemption narrative, overstating the 'irony' and calling the film a blockbuster before final figures are out. tracktollywood's fan-protest story adds ground-level heat that the other two ignore, but is pure spectacle without financial or career context. Together they show Ravi Teja's resurgence is real, but the exact earnings and producer enthusiasm remain claims, not audited data. The Nizam gross crossing Rs 50 crore will be the benchmark to watch.
