Before the release, a huge hype was created for “The Warrior." To expand his market, Ram even went to Chennai and promoted the Tamil version of the film aggressively. But none of his efforts paid off.
The Telugu version failed miserably. The Tamil version of “The Warriorr” was a complete non-starter. Had this film become a big hit in Telugu and Tamil, Boyapati Srinu would have planned a big canvas movie with Ram.
Buzz is that Boyapati will have to reduce the budget for his next film starring Ram Pothineni. When the film was launched, the makers announced it as a pan-Indian project.
Riding high on the success of “Akhanda”, Boyapati has big plans for Ram. But the theatrical market crashed even for straight Hindi films. So, it will not be wise for him to go beyond the market range of Ram.
Currently, the producer and Boyapati Srinu are working on the budget and casting.
