Subhash K Jha, one of the producers of the movie, told the media that "The final budget of the film is Rs 270 crore (Rs 2.7 billion), which makes it a costlier film than Baahubali. Our basic production cost was Rs 210 crore (Rs 2.1 billion). That included the payment for the cricketers -- we paid each one of them between Rs 3 crore and Rs 7 crore (Rs 30 million to Rs 70 billion) for the rights to their story. Then, as the film's release had to be postponed repeatedly, we had to pay interest. Our final budget came to Rs 270 crore."
