While the critics have hated Ice Cream, the filmmaker is delighted with the success and to celebrate it, he even held a success meet here recently.
"The film was made on a budget of Rs 1.5 crore and it managed to collect about Rs 80 lakh in its opening weekend in the state. We are expecting to make some money from the satellite rights as well," the film's producer T. Rama Satyanarayana said.
RGV is said to have persuaded the team to work without remuneration and promised to share the film's profits with them.
