Amidst the rumors that mass maharaja Ravi Teja’s upcoming film ‘Raja The Great’ is under ‘reshoot’ mode, here comes a piece of info on the stunning deal the film has fetched.
As per sources, the Satellite, Digital and Hindi dubbing rights of ‘Raja The Great’ have been sold for a whopping Rs 18 Cr. This is the highest amount paid for any Ravi Teja starrer for non-theatrical rights. Producer Dil Raju will easily pocket at least 25 Cr from theatrical rights so he has another table-profit film in store.
The value of satellite and Hindi dubbing rights has significantly gone up in recent years. Nonetheless, what makes the deal lucrative is that Ravi Teja hasn’t had a release in past two years, and his earlier releases – Kick 2 and Bengal Tiger were disaster and average respectively. Dil Raju’s brand, director Anil Ravipudi’s track record in etching commercial entertainers, the intriguing fact that Ravi Teja is essaying the character of a blind man in the film and the well received teaser seem to have helped ‘Raja The Great’ to seal this ‘great’ deal.
Starring Mehreen Pirzada in female lead role and Radhika Sharatkumar in a key role, ‘Raja The Great’ is likely to release for Diwali festival.
