Balakrishna is a big star in masses, however his market value in overseas is not so notable. Legend is the only film that made a decent business in the region. In fact, it is little risky spending big amounts for overseas rights of Balakrishna movies. Balakrishna’s latest flick Dictator is making good pre release business.
Distribution rights of most of the areas are done and negotiations are happening for other territories. The Sriwass directorial is promoted as wholesome entertainer which will have all needed elements for classes as well as masses. So, the makers are demanding huge prices for overseas rights.
As per our sources, they are demanding Rs 4 crores for the rights, wherein the distributors are asking for 3 Cr. The deal is expected to close somewhere between 3.5 to 4 Cr, which is a good price for Balakrishna’s film. But it will be a big gambling for them.
Usually, writers Kona Venkat and Gopi Mohan films will have good trade in US and other overseas areas, but their last few movies were debacles there. Balakrishna and other film unit members are confident of Dictator to impress all section of audiences and score a hit at box office.
It may be recalled that, Dictator satellite rights were sold to Gemini TV for a fancy price of Rs 6.25 crores. This indicates that the movie is for families too.
Distributors who have acquired the film rights for their areas are in hurry in blocking theaters. It is heard that, the movie will have huge release in Balakrishna’s key area- Ceded, despite heavy competition for the Sankranthi.
