Akkineni Nagarjuna is all set to arrive as Ghost in the mystery thriller film on October 5 for Dasara. The movie, directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Praveen Sattaru is a joint production of Northstar Entertainment and Sree Venkateswara Cinemas LLP banners.
Made on a budget of about Rs 20 Crore, which excludes the remuneration of the veteran actor, the movie's pre-release business seems to be pretty decent. According to the entertainment websites, the movie made Rs 22 Crore through selling its digital, satellite, and music rights. The film, therefore, has made a decent recovery even before the theatrical release.
Coming to the remuneration part, Nagarjuna has been reportedly assured a sum of Rs 6 Crore for the Ghost. However, the actor retained the distribution rights in several parts of Andhra Pradesh, in addition.
