Ram Charan to reportedly take a pay cut for Dil Raju’s next after ‘Game Changer’ tanked at the box office.
Dil Raju’s ‘Game Changer,’ led by Ram Charan was among the most highly-anticipated releases of the year. While the film started strong, it gradually lost its footing at the box office. Mounted on a whopping budget of around 460 crores, the film has been able to rack up only 127 crores since its release on January 10. Notably, the film is facing competition with ‘Sankranthiki Vasthunam’ and ‘Daaku Maharaaj’ and both titles are performing well. Notably, Dil Raju is also a producer of the former title. Now, as per reports, Ram Charan is going to take a pay cut for the producer’s next flick.
As reported by India Today, Ram Charan has decided to collaborate with Dil Raju for another film. The move is a means to cover the losses of ‘Game Changer.’ Reportedly, the actor has agreed to do the film with a lesser remuneration. Meanwhile, the star is busy shooting for director Buchi Babu Sana’s ‘RC 16’ with Janhvi Kapoor. After wrapping up all the lined-up shoot commitments, he will collaborate with Dil Raju for their next film.
