K-Ramp Cast Remuneration: The imminent Telugu romantic drama K-Ramp, starring Kiran Abbavaram and Yukti Thareja. It is making headlines not only due to its youthful storyline but also for being made in a shoestring budget. The film, to be directed by a newbie, dwells on heart-centric emotions, fresh faces, and realistic storytelling, keeping in contrast the high-octane action entertainers.
Sets up cost of ₹8-10 crore, K-Ramp is modelled on a cost-effective basis of concentrating on the content and performance, sacrificing the spectacle. This conscious attempt on the part of the team is reflective of a growing trend observed in Telugu cinema. The intelligent creation within a limited budget.
Budgeting has been done in such a way that it can maintain balance between talent and affordability, as shown in the movie’s budget breakdown:
The male lead Kiran Abbavaram reportedly charged somewhere between ₹1.5-2 crore. He agreed to this slim fee out of devotion to backing small projects that hold promise.
Newbie in Telugu films as the female lead, she has been paid nearly ₹40-60 lakhs. Which is generally what a newcomer gets.
Reported that Mercy Joy earned around ₹15-25 lakhs for doing an important supporting character, while popular comic Vennela Kishore was given around ₹20-30 lakhs for his comedic timing.
Veteran actors Sai Kumar and Naresh contracted around ₹30-50 lakhs, more or less, as per their roles and screen presence.
With this structured remuneration, K-Ramp managed to keep its small budget intact while doing better on the bigger names, so as to attract a wider audience.
The production team has envisioned a crisp shooting schedule with fewer VFX shots to save production costs. The project found its place from day one to be relatively secure financially even before release. As the OTT and satellite rights were expected actually to cover almost 70% of the investments.
