Buzz: Covid messes up Khiladi’s budget plans

The makers of Ravi Teja’s Khiladi planned a 25-day schedule in Italy but had to cut it short after the Italian government-imposed travel restrictions due to Covid second wave. The unit could shoot only around 50% of the portion they had initially planned to. Consequently, the Italy schedule has ended up as a complete catastrophe.

The unforeseen circumstances that had arisen in the Italy schedule has reportedly messed up Khiladi’s budget plans.

The makers allotted Rs 15 crores budget for the Italy schedule. Now that they could not get the desired output, they will have to shoot many of these scenes in Hyderabad which would in turn end up burning a hole in their pocket. The producers will have to spend around Rs 25 crores to wrap up this schedule now.

Team Khiladi will be resuming shoot from 10th May and wrap up the remaining portion at a brisk pace. Owing to Covid second wave, Khiladi’s budget is shooting up big time.

The Ramesh Varma directorial stars Dimple Hayati and Meenakshi Chaudhary in female lead roles.
