Mahesh Babu’s ‘Maharshi’ has not yet closed its overseas deal as the makers are demanding unreasonable price.
Mahesh Babu’s recent movies didn’t bring profits to the distributors even when they turned out to be hits. In this scenario, the overseas distributors are dodging on this movie to snap the rights.
The makers have already slashed some discount but now none is willing to pay that price as well. Latest we heard is that the film will be released on sharing basis.
Mahesh Babu’s last film “Bharat Ane Nenu” collected whopping 3.5 million dollars which is all-time fourth highest grossing Telugu movie in USA after “Baahubali” movies and “Rangasthalam”. But the film was bought for hefty price and it didn’t give rejoice to the buyers.
The other reason for buyers’ hesitation is it has not created much buzz so far. The first song of “Maharshi” has also failed to generate great hype.
