Baahubali sets new record in business
The biggest cinema ever going to be made in Telugu cinema is already starting its record breaking spree. Ace director SS Rajamouli's magnum opus 'Baahubali' started to break the existing records even before its release.
According to reports the makers have sold away the Karnataka and Ceded rights of the first part of the film and they have fetched mind boggling figures for the makers.
Our sources informed that the distribution rights of Karnataka and Ceded areas were sold for 9 and 13 crores respectively and this is record for any Telugu movie.
Getting an amount of 9 crores for a non-Kannada film is a record among other South Indian languages. In ceded area highest ever business was done for Magadheera which have collected 13 Crores+ in its final run.Now the rights itself sold for 13 crores means buyers are expecting nothing short of Magadheera.
According to trade pundits, this is so far the highest price for any Telugu cinema. Though more details of the buyers are yet to be known, this is certainly a welcoming sign for Baahubali movie that is touted to have an investment close to Rs. 150 crore.
The film is getting sensational offers from other areas too. Going by these numbers the trade is already throwing up unheard of before numbers for other major territories like Nizam, Uttar Andhra etc. Bahubali is going to be the benchmark of the business range of Telugu Cinema without an iota of doubt.
Prabhas, Rana, Anushka, Tamanna and Adivi Sesh are lead cast in the periodic drama being made with heavy budget. Arka Media is producing the movie while MM Keeravani is scoring music and Senthi Kumar is handling camera.
Bahubali shooting is presently going on in Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad. Post this schedule, the film unit will soon fly to Bulgaria to shoot some important scenes. Bahubali first part is scheduled for April 17, 2015 release.
