All eyes are on what filmmaker Buchi Babu Sana will do next. While industry rumours suggest he is working on another project with Ram Charan, and there is even talk of an office being opened for the development, there has been no official confirmation from either side so far.
Whether the speculation turns out to be true or not, another discussion has become louder within film circles.
According to industry buzz, producers are now expected to keep a much closer watch on this director's budgets.
The belief is that no producer will hand him a big-ticket project without ensuring tighter financial accountability throughout the production, in legal way.
Trade insiders point out that 'Peddi' registered impressive openings and managed to sustain collections largely because of Ram Charan's stardom, despite receiving mixed reactions for its narrative.
The trade talk is that had the film been mounted on a budget at least Rs 100 crore lower, its financial outcome could have been significantly stronger, resulting in far healthier profits for everyone involved.
Now the spotlight is firmly on the director's next move. Whether he reunites with Ram Charan or collaborates with another star, the biggest talk is that no producer will be willing to give him the project without ticking on the 'conditions' box.
