DC Producer Splurges Rs 1.5 Crore On BMWs For Lokesh, Arun, Anirudh
DC, a Tamil action film, was reportedly made on a budget of Rs 25 crore and has grossed over Rs 100 crore globally, making it a commercial success. It was director and screenwriter Lokesh Kanagaraj's acting debut, and the cast included Wamiqa Gabbi, Sanjana Krishnamoorthy, Arun Matheswaran and Avinash Raghudevan, among others.
Kalanithi Maran chose the BMW iX1 LWB as the perfect luxury ride for actor Lokesh Kanagaraj, director Arun Matheswaran, and composer Anirudh Ravichander. The price of the car starts at Rs 49 lakh and can go up to Rs 55 lakh on-road, depending on where it is purchased in India.
According to Autocar, the on-road price of the BMW iX1 LWB in Delhi is Rs 55.81 lakh. It is a spacious electric SUV that offers superior rear-seat comfort. It comes with vegan leather seats, a large panoramic glass roof, a widescreen curved display, wireless charging and smartphone integration, and a parking assistant with surround view. The producer has splurged over Rs 1.5 crore on these gifts.
