Who is the biggest star in
Andhra Pradesh now? Most of your answers will be Mahesh Babu, Pawan
Kalyan, Jr. NTR and few others, isn't it? But there is another invisible
force that is as big as all these stars, if not bigger. He is none
other than south Indian Super star Rajanikanth. He has once again proved
that his star power is beyond boundaries.
Rajinikanth's latest film
Kochadaiyaan is also being made in Telugu along with Tamil and Hindi
versions. This movie's theatrical distribution rights have been bagged
by Lakshmi Ganapathi films for a record price. They have made a deal for
a whopping 30 crore rupees and that too only for Andhra Pradesh. This
is the biggest individual deal for any Telugu movie till date. There
were few Telugu biggies that made over 30 crores business when all the
territories put together.
But this is the biggest outright
deal that was ever done. Robo was lapped up for 27 crore rupees deal
and Superstar bettered it by a mile with Kochadaiyaan. And that too
without Shankar factor. What's amazing about Kochadaiyan is it is not
even a regular commercial film. It is India's first performance capture
photorealistic film. In other words it is an animation movie in which
Rajinikanth is not seen on the screen. Getting such a huge price for a
film without his 'real' presence is something out of the world. Take a
bow Thalaiva!
