During the promotions of Dacoit, Adivi Sesh revealed that the budget of his much-anticipated Goodachari 2 has crossed a massive ₹100 crore. The revelation has come as a shock to cinephiles, as the film is being mounted on an unprecedented scale.

Goodachari is one of the best spy thrillers in Telugu cinema and took Sesh’s career to the next level. He is now pushing the envelope with Goodachari 2, which is being shot on a much bigger scale with an expanded cast.

The recent box office sensation Dhurandhar has certainly changed the way people look at spy thrillers. Among the many reasons for its success, one is the use of natural locations, in contrast to most big-budget films that rely on green screens. Another reason is the impeccable set work.

With Sesh at the helm of writing, there is no doubt about the content, given his track record. However, for a film of this genre to look technically solid and appeal to audiences across languages, a ₹100 crore budget is justified.

Dhurandhar has raised the bar for spy thrillers both content-wise and technically, and if Goodachari 2 delivers, we could once again draw nationwide attention to Telugu cinema.
