The movie has been made on a budget of Rs 40 crores and the film minted Rs 85 crores in its final run which is huge among Mahesh’s films. Srimanthudu is the second highest Telugu grossed movie after Baahubali: The Beginning. Devi Sri Prasad composed the music and the audio of the movie is a huge hit.

Mythri Movie Makers produced the movie and Hrithik has been roped in to play the lead role in the Bollywood remake. Though initially Varun Dhawan has been considered for the film, Varun walked out as he thought that it’s too early to do such characters.

Sources say that Hrithik watched the complete movie recently and suggested some changes. He felt that the climax of the film has to be changed and it was not that powerful. Koratala Siva who directed the original will direct the Hindi version once Hrithik completes his work for Mohenjo Daro.

Eros International who distributed the Telugu version acquired the rights for the remake and they will produce the movie on a high budget. Hrithik has been impressed with the script as well as with the director. Koratala Siva will direct NTR in his next film Janatha Garage which will start shooting from January next year.
