DD Next Level breakeven target: How much does Santhanam's Tamil horror comedy need to earn to be profitable? Trade analyst reveals
Santhanam is gearing up for the release of DD Next Level , slated to hit the screens on May 16. The film has created a great deal of buzz among his fans with its intriguing trailer. Moreover, it is the fourth installment of the Dhilluku Dhuddu franchise. The film has been shot on a modest budget of Rs 20 crore, which makes it a safe venture for the makers. It, however, still needs to match the performance of the previous instalments of the franchise to emerge as a commercial success.
