Balakrishna Doubles His Business!

The unprecedented hype generated for Nandamuri Balakrishna’s 100th milestone flick ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni’ is establishing best records. If reports are to be believed, pre release business of the movie is getting closed for all the major territories and makers are happy offering the distribution rights at whopping prices.

Till date, Balayya’s highest pre release business happened for ‘Dictator’ and it was near to Rs. 38 Crores. Things have changed and Fans are going emotional with 100th film sentiment. Accordingly, Satakarni pre release trade might almost breach 70 Crores mark if business from all the areas is put together. Below is the official numbers we received from production sources:

Area                      Pre Release Business           Distributor

Nizam                       11.25 Crs                        Global Cinemas

Ceded                          9.00 Crs                        Sai Korrapati

Guntur                         4.50 Crs                         S Pictures

Krishna                        3.60 Crs                        Bakery Prasad

Nellore                         1.98 Crs                         Bharath

Satellite                         9.00 Crs                         MAA TV                                

East Godavari, West Godavari and Vizag along with Karnataka and Rest of India rights are yet to be sold. Offers for remake rights and dubbing rights are also lying with producer Rajeev Reddy. As of now, GPS pre release business has crossed 50 Crores mark and 20 or 25 Crores more is a possible number. This clearly means, GPS multiplied Balakrishna original business value by two times.
