The only big reason for the delay of “Spyder” is- most insiders say it is Mahesh Babu. Apparently, our star hero is making his debut in Kollywood with this film, which is making him take utmost care about the project. But isn’t that becoming a costly affair?
According to the grapevine, a song that should be shot in 4 days is now taking 7-8 days for Mahesh Babu to finish. Already huge money, say 1.5 crores, is spent to build the set for the song, while dancers from Mumbai are brought in to do the best. But you know what, Mahesh don’t want to do the lip-sync just for Telugu version and get the Tamil version dubbed over it.
Mahesh wants to sing Tamil lines as well and go for extra takes for them. If each and every line is to be conceived in both Telugu and Tamil and in a perfect way, then it is like doing two songs altogether. That’s why days are simply extending.
While all these extended affairs are going to cost a bit to the producer, they are happy that the film in its two languages is bringing them more table-profits than expected. But it’s only the release date that is posing a little worry. And we have to see if all these care will help Mahesh Babu secure a win at Tamil box office.
Directed by AR Murugadoss, Spyder features Mahesh and Rakul Preet in the leads, while Haris Jayaraj is composing music. September 27th is the tentative release date.
