Venkatesh's fee hike halts Drishyam 3 Telugu
25 Feb
Summary
- Venkatesh Daggubati has reportedly exited Drishyam 3 Telugu.
- Actor's increased remuneration is cited as a reason for the delay.
- The Telugu adaptation's future is uncertain without its lead actor.
The Telugu version of the popular Drishyam franchise is currently in limbo, with actor Venkatesh Daggubati reportedly withdrawing from the anticipated third installment. This decision comes after the immense commercial and critical success of the first two films, which he headlined.
Sources indicate that Venkatesh's remuneration has substantially increased following a series of recent successful projects. This revised fee is reportedly beyond the financial capacity of the Telugu film industry, especially amidst current economic challenges.
The steep demand for his increased fee has led to the immediate stalling of Drishyam 3 in Telugu. The franchise's appeal in the region now hinges on finding a new lead actor who is both financially viable and capable of maintaining the established popularity.
Without a suitable replacement, the Telugu leg of the Drishyam saga faces an uncertain future, leaving its continuation in serious doubt. The industry awaits further developments regarding this stalled production.
