Will Shankar compromise this time?
From Premikudu to Aparichitudu to the recent Shivaji, all his films budget kept increasing with the success of each film and the range of the star concerned. Shivaji is touted to be the most costliest film in India with the biggest star of South India. Shankar is in a fix right now as after getting used to such magnificient sets and lavish production values, any star he selects for his next film now wouldn’t have one third of the business range that Shivaji has done. So he has to compromise on his making style which he has never done in his career. So to beat Shivaji and it’s making values, he has to make another film with Rajni again.

I don’t think SHANKAR is not a PRODUCER’s director.
ANYBODY think that SIVAJI movie make sense of canning it for almost 2 years. Any movie can be done in 6 month time frame. Better take 4 more months for lavish values and graphics.
Everyone is thinking of BULLSHIT highbudget term(if you plan for 40Crores and if you take for 2 years — it will cost more than 70+crores — Is that you call Big Budget??)
That foolishness. In Andhra Sivaji is not doing well after 1st week and generated a bad report(ofcourse you gave good review), how come BUYERS and Distributors make money.
PRODUCERS anyhow they make money due to the RAJNI/SHANKAR brand name.
Dont come to conclusion that SIVAJI is the film is ever made in Indian Cinema with High Budget.
That is goin to be DRAGGED BUDGET and not HIGH budget.
Media should avoid this BLOODY propaganda of Sivaji.
