Great India Films had stumped up more than $7 million for North American theatrical rights to the sequel to director S.S. Rajamouli’s 2015 blockbuster Baahubali: The Beginning.
The fee for Baahubali: The Conclusion, which covers Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam rights, is a record for an Indian film. Confirming the deal, which was first reported by Telugu360.com, Great India Films’ Sudhakar Reddy K told me, “ We paid over $7 million as royalty for all the languages for its theatrical rights . Yes it is a record for any Indian movie by miles.”
As per latest reports the overseas rights of the film have reportedly been bagged by Great India Films for a whopping 45 crores.
