Upcoming big-budget Indian movie grabs $800 million in pre-releases: Prabhas’ previous films may have been beaten at the box office, but his star value hasn’t waned. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding Prabhas’ next film, “Salaar”. It is reported to have earned Rs 80 billion since its launch. Billions of viewers have seen teasers for the film. Prabhas’ “Salaar” is poised to set new box office records, beating out films such as “Dangal” and “Pathan”.
After ‘Baahubali’, Audiences and filmmakers have higher expectations from Prabhas. Although many of his previous films did not perform well at the box office and were not well received by audiences, his influence in the world of cinema remains strong. Audiences are going wild for ‘Salaar’, the actor’s upcoming movie that could break every major box office record. The film is reported to have earned Rs 800 crore since its release.
43-year-old Prabhas’ stardom is such that his past films topped Rs 100 crore on its opening day. The market for ‘Salaar’ is very high. Its teaser has been viewed by over 11 million users, so it’s entirely possible that it will cause panic at the box office.
According to media reports, ‘Salaar’ will earn around Rs 800 crore before its release. The manufacturer earns Rs.80 crore from selling digital, theatrical, satellite, and music rights. The cost of the rights abroad is said to be around Rs 80 billion. The manufacturer will earn Rs.500 crore from selling the rights to publish across the country, of which about Rs.200 crore will be received from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
“Sarala” is a pan-Indian film that will be released in Tamil and Kannada as well as Hindi. $220 million will come solely from selling theatrical rights in various languages. The great success of “KGF 2” has also raised the costs for the makers of “Salaar”, and the benefits are clear for them. Digital rights to “Salaar” sold for $200 million, according to a tracktollywood.com report, but all those numbers also depend on the film’s box office success.
‘Salaar’ will be released on September 28, 2023, 21 days after Shah Rukh Khan’s film ‘Jawaan’. At the box office, ‘Salaar’ will go head to head with Vivek Agnihotri’s film ‘The Vaccine War’.
