Once a star director, Sreenu Vaitla is completely out of form now. Almost all of his recent attempts like Amar Akbar Anthony, Bruce Lee, and Mister, turned out to be duds at the box office.
For his upcoming film Dhee 2, the sequel of super hit comedy caper Dhee, Sreenu Vaitla is working with Manchu Vishnu. ATV Entertainments will be bankrolling this project.
While in top form, Sreenu Vaitla used to charge somewhere around Rs 7-8 crores per film, but that is not the case now.
As per reports, Sreenu Vaitla is receiving a monthly salary of Rs 1 lakh for this film. Same was the case with his previous film, Amar Akbar Anthony as well. Mythri Movie Makers reportedly paid him Rs 2-3 lakhs per month.
Given Sreenu’s poor run of form, not many production houses are willing to offer him a hefty remuneration or advance. So, he agreed to work on Dhee 2 on monthly salay basis. He had already started working on the script.
Sreenu Vaitla was next to none when it comes to churning out comedy films while in his prime and we need to see if he will get back to winning ways with Dhee 2.
