Then comes 'Kantara', which was made at a cost of Rs 16 Cr. The film grossed more than Rs 400 cr.
The third one is 'The Kashmir Files'. As per director-producer Vivek Agnhitori, its budget was around Rs 15 Cr. The film grossed more than Rs 340 Cr.
The three films, one each with Telugu, Kannada and Hindi, really minted monies like crazy.
