RRR: SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus with Jr. NTR, Ram Charan gets Rs 350 crore offer?

Filmmaker SS Rajamouli is a maverick. With Baahubali franchise he has delivered one of the biggest blockbusters of the Indian cinema. So naturally, when he announced his next -RRR, a period action drama film, starring Jr. NTR and Ram Charan, it rightfully created a stir.

The multilingual film will release pan India and also features Ajay Devgn and Alia Bhatt. Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, RRR’s release date was pushed from 8 January to 13 October 2021. And the latest reports state that Rajamouli’s magnum opus has started getting exorbitant offers for its theatrical rights.

According to a Pinkvilla report, makers of RRR have received offers of whopping Rs 348 crores from independent distributors from Southern states. A trade source was quoted saying in the portal as, “The RRR team has received offers from independent distributors from different territories of Southern states which amounts to Rs 348 crore. It’s going to be the biggest deal in the history of Telugu cinema, defeating the pre-release business of Baahubali 2, which had collected approximately Rs 215 crore from the South speaking states.”

This exorbitant offer is only for Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam version of RRR. So when the Hindi version’s rights will be sold, which is expected to be around 100 crores, that will indeed make the deal even more lucrative. According to the same report, RRR’s Hindi version will be released by AA Films (Anil Thadani). The overseas rights of the period drama have been sold for Rs 70 crore to Phars Films. So apparently just by selling the theatrical rights, the makers of RRR will be amassing a revenue of Rs 500 crores!

RRR is a fictional story about India’s freedom fighters, Alluri Sitarama Raju (Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Rama Rao) who fought against the British Raj and Nizam of Hyderabad respectively. Apart from Alia, the film also features Olivia Morris.
