1.5 crore for his next

Hyderabad, June 11: Tollywood Young director Venky Atluri who entertained the Telugu Audience with his debut film Tholi Prema starring Mega prince- Raashi Kanna in lead roles.

The film got tremendous talk all over the world, in fact, it was back to back hits for Varun Tej Career. Now, according to the latest development, he will be directing Akhil Akkineni in his next.

The film with Akhil Akkineni will also be shot in London like Tholi Prema, sources from the film unit said.

Incidentally, following the success of Tholi Prema, Venky Atluri left for a vacation to Thailand and buzz in the industry is that he is getting paid Rs 1.5 crore for his film with Akhil.

Not a bad remuneration at all for just his second film but then, when you consider that the cost of production has skyrocketed in recent times and the Rajamouli-Ram Charan film being made on a budget of Rs 300 crore, Rs 1.5 crore seems to be a fair price.
