5 Aug
Summary
- Lokesh Kanagaraj makes acting debut in upcoming crime-action thriller DC.
- The film 'DC' has a reported budget of 25 crore and needs 25 crore net.
- DC is scheduled to release on August 7 and aims for success at the box office.
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj is stepping into the acting arena with the upcoming crime-action thriller titled 'DC'. The film is slated for a theatrical release on August 7, with expectations of a strong opening at the Indian box office. This marks Kanagaraj's first acting role after directing prominent stars.
The production of 'DC' was managed with a controlled budget, reportedly around 25 crore. This economical approach was facilitated by the team, including director Arun Matheshwaran and music composer Anirudh, reportedly reducing their remuneration. Consequently, the film is considered a less commercially risky venture.
To achieve profitability and avoid being deemed a failure, 'DC' is projected to need a net collection of 25 crore in the Indian market. If it reaches this target, it will secure an average verdict. A net collection exceeding 50 crore would signify a clean hit, with success heavily dependent on positive word-of-mouth.
Produced by Kalanithi Maran under the Sun Pictures banner, 'DC' also features Sanjana Krishnamoorthy and Avinash Raghudevan. The film is reportedly inspired by the classic 1917 novel 'Devdas'.
