After Orange debacle, Ramcharan Tej is leaving no stone unturned to make his upcoming film Rachcha a blockbuster, and crores of rupees have been spent on the action and item numbers.
Producer R.B. Choudary had to shell out Rs 2 crore just for one action sequence in the film, unit members said.
As it was shot in picturesque China, the scene required loads of bamboo sticks and the high-adrenaline action shots were choreographed by a Chinese stunt master.
“It’s quite a unique action sequence and Ramcharan did a good job with his reflexes and agility, convincingly bashing up the thugs amidst the bamboo sticks,” a crew member maintained. The producer also spent another Rs 80 lakh to rope in Bollywood beauty Lisa Hayden for the racy title track.
Though director Samapath Nandi planned a lip lock scene for the hero initially, later he dropped the move to give the so-called clean image to the entertainer.
