The horror genre is not considered to be a box office-friendly genre in Tollywood. Moreover, such films get an A certificate which keeps families at bay and takes away a major chunk of the revenue. But Virupaksha has done great business in its first weekend and is on course to be a hit.
More than the twists or performances, Virupaksha’s technical values have contributed a lot to its success. The sound design, the camerawork, and the background score succeeded in a big way in giving the audience of watching an atmospheric mystic thriller.

Now, Maruthi, who delivered a disaster Pakka Commercial, is coming up with a film with Prabhas. Unlike Virupaksha, which was a serious, no-nonsense horror film, this Maruthi film is going to be a horror comedy.
With Virupaksha, the Telugu audience has experienced a horror film with terrific technical values. So Maruthi has the task of coming up with a film that has better effects and technical values than Virupaksha. He has to take the audience experience to the next level and can’t afford a technically mediocre film which invoves some vfx work.
