Here’s how much Karan Johar earned from the smashing success of ‘Baahubali 2’

SS Rajamouli’s ‘Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion‘ can be called a true magnum opus since we haven’t witnessed anything similar in the Indian film industry before. The film has grossed over Rs 1500 crore globally and the run is on. Out of this, the Hindi version alone stood at approximately Rs 505 crore. It was a smashing success for the actors, directors and the producers. But Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, who presented the film’s Hindi version, are standing upon great profit as well.

The producer’s share for the Hindi version happens to be over Rs 250 crore, and as per reports KJo’s contract states that he earns 10% of the producer’s share of the Hindi version. Which means Dharma Productions has earned as much as over Rs 25 crore for presenting the grand film! (Also read: SS Rajamouli’s ‘Baahubali’ franchise goes to Cannes)

The film was received with rave reviews pouring from all corners, and the fans of the epic historical fiction surely had their share of wholesome entertainment with the franchise. Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia, SS Rajamouli and the entire team (including Karan Johar) are now savouring the sweet taste of success after so much of hard word, aren’t they?
