Modi's demonetization move has affected the film industry in many ways with some films getting stuck in labs, some unreleased and some got nipped in the bud itself. Here is another bizarre manner in which the Modi blow has landed on tollywood.
Some of the films whose shooting has been wrapped up, are now going for reshoots. Let's take the example of Manchu Vishnu's upcoming film 'Luckunnodu'. The title itself gave an idea that the film deals with money and the first look poster confirmed it. Vishnu was seen sitting like a king amidst a pile of cash bundles in the poster.
Well, after the old currency has been scrapped, wouldn't it look funny if the characters in the film shown running around for those defunct notes? Reportedly, in most of the scenes of Luckunnodu, money bundles were used. While some shots can be corrected using graphics, some scenes have to be reshot in order not to make a mess of them. This in turn will be a tedious task for the makers as they have to once again acquire the dates of all actors and shell out sizeable bucks.
Irony is that a film having 'Luckunnodu' as its title has faced this unlucky situation.
