Baahubali 2: How S S Rajamouli's Film Earned Rs 500 Crore Before Release

01 Feb, 2017 11:23 AM
    If reports are to believed, National Award- winning director SS Rajamouli’s upcoming film Baahubali: The Conclusion has made some unprecedented pre-release business for a movie produced down south. 
     
    It is said that the film starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati has already raked in more than Rs 500 crore, which is mostly from the sales of its theatrical rights.
     
    Baahubali 2 will release in three languages, including Telugu, Tamil and Hindi. Bollywood’s favourite filmmaker Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions is presenting the Hindi version of the film. And it has reportedly paid a record price for its theatrical rights that will give Bollywood’s biggest titles a run for their money.
     
    According to a pre-release break-up provided by industry tracker Ramesh Bala, the theatrical rights of the film’s Hindi version has fetched a whopping Rs 120 crore. Baahubali: The Beginning, that was released in 2015, became the first south Indian movie dubbed in Hindi to collect Rs 100 crore at the Bollywood box office.
     
    Talking about filming Baahubali , SS Rajamouli told news agency: "Making second part was much easier than first one. For the first part, we had confidence but we were not sure how people will receive it. We had confidence in the subject." He also added, "If you were blown away by Baahubali first part, come prepared for Baahubali 2, it will amaze you even more. In the second part, we have done what we couldn't do in the first."
     
     
    Baahubali made over Rs 650 crores worldwide and won a National Award.
