The upcoming film of Naga Chaitanya, Love Story, in Sekhar Kammula’s direction will hit the screens in summer of 2020. The combination of the actor in the form with Sekhar Kammula is big enough. Add Sai Pallavi as the heroine it has drawn significant attention to the film among the moviegoers as well as buyers.
It, therefore, doesn’t come as a surprise that the US rights for Love Story have been snapped at a record price. It is the career of both the actor and the director.
The last couple of films of Naga Chaitanya and Fidaa from Sekhar Kammula, especially the latter, was a big money-spinner in the US. Fidaa was among the few earliest entrants to the 2 Million club with no big names before the release, back then.
The US rights of Love Story are said to be sold at approximately 5.6 Cr. What it means theatrically is that Love Story has to earn twice the best performance of Naga Chaitanya’s best in the US. Premam is the highest earner for the actor here, and it collected around $850K. Love Story will have to now mint more than 1.6 Million to be called a success.
