Ram Gopal Varma recently claimed that a prominent Telugu actor invested his own money to keep his underperforming film running in theaters. In an interview, Ram Gopal Varma detailed how the star, faced with a disappointing box office performance took the unusual step of funding the film’s continued screening to avoid the embarrassment of an early withdrawal.
Ram Gopal Varma explained that a corporate company from Mumbai produced a film with a major Telugu star. When the film began to lose money, the company wanted to pull it from theaters. However, the star’s fans felt it would be an insult if the film didn’t run for a respectable duration. In response, the actor offered to use his own money to ensure the film stayed in theaters.
This revelation has caused a stir in the Telugu film industry, with fans speculating about the actor’s identity. Many believe it could be Prabhas, known for the Baahubali franchise, whose recent films have not met expectations. Others suggest Mahesh Babu, one of Tollywood’s most reliable stars, might be the subject of Varma’s claims.
On social media, fans have been actively discussing and debating the potential identity of the actor. One user suggested, “Only one Telugu actor working in Bollywood, that’s none other than Prabhas.” Another added, “Lottery Prabhas, who else? He worked with Mumbai companies but is not a big star now.”
Conversely, some speculate that the actor could be Mahesh Babu, referring to his film “Guntur Kaaram.” The debate has generated a mix of shock, intrigue, and disappointment among fans.
