Riteish Deshmukh On Speculation Around Raja Shivaji’s ₹100 Crore Budget: “As Filmmakers, The Last Thing…”
- What’s Inside:
- The big reveal about Raja Shivaji’s budget.
- Riteish Deshmukh’s thoughts on filmmaking.
- What we think about it all!
We just saw the latest buzz around Riteish Deshmukh’s movie, Raja Shivaji. It’s out now and getting tons of love! People are raving about the story, the acting, and how beautifully it’s made.
But, as with any big movie, there’s talk. Specifically, about its ₹100 crore budget. So, Riteish himself jumped in to clear the air.
He said, and we’re paraphrasing here, that as filmmakers, the *last* thing they worry about is the price tag. Their focus is on making good cinema. Making something that connects with everyone.
We get that. It’s like when an artist is creating something beautiful. They’re lost in the colors, the textures, the overall aesthetic. The cost? Not their primary concern. It’s about bringing their vision to life.
This whole budget chat got us thinking about other film news. Remember how Fatima Sana Shaikh is just a ray of sunshine on screen? We loved her vibe! Check out our piece on her.
And speaking of big stories, ‘The Walking Dead’ rights are up for grabs! Big players are circling. It’s a whole drama.
Oh, and for our Gullak fans, there’s a change! Vaibhav Raj Gupta is out, and Anant Joshi is in for Season 5. Fans are already saying it won’t feel quite the same. Sad face.
Our Take
We totally understand Riteish’s point. When you’re pouring your heart into a project, especially something as grand as a historical epic, the numbers take a backseat. It’s about capturing that historical grandeur, those powerful performances, and creating a visual feast. Budgets are for the bean counters; the magic is for the audience.
