After being in the production stage for years, Anushka’s Bhagamati has recently been wrapped up. UV Creations, who bankrolled this heroine-centric film, planned to release it in October month. However, the latest developments indicate that the film may fail to see the light in 2017.
The shoot of Bhagamati kept delaying for various reasons ever since it went on floors. After much delay, makers announced to have wrapped up the shoot last month. Producers planned to start the publicity campaign for this forgotten film by unveiling the first look on the eve of Dussehra, and eventually release the film in October.
They however had to defer their plans as they are now chalking out schedules to re-shoot a few portions of the film so as to make them conducive to impose CG work. For these repairs to take place, Anushka needs to allot at least one week of her call sheets. The post-production work will eat away some more time. Getting a decent date is the foremost priority of makers as very high budget, 40 Cr (very difficult to recover unless the film gets a blockbuster talk) is at stake.
Having faith in the subject and also in Anushka’s popularity, makers had initially allotted Rs 30 Cr budget for Bhagamati. As the shoot progressed at snail pace and also because heavy CG work needed, the budget shot up to 40 Cr. Since the investment is too huge, makers are taking no chances and are sculpting the film to perfection before bringing it into theatres.
