Director SS Rajamouli's upcoming movie 'RRR' has beaten the pre-release revenue of his previous magnum opus 'Baahubali : The Conclusion'. Reports reveal, the ambitious multi-starrer has grossed approximately £40 million already. Trade analyst Ramesh Bala tweeted, “#RRR breaks the pre-release business of #Baahubali2 with a huge margin. All right undertaken for record numbers! Definitely, emerging out to be a film with the pre-release business of more than 400 Crores from South India and Overseas alone. This is going be HUGE!”
The movie, reportedly set across two timelines, will feature Ram Charan and Jr NTR in lead roles, with Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, Olivia Morris, Alison Doody, and Ray Stevenson playing supporting parts. The Telangana rights to the film have been sold for £21.5 million, while the Karnataka rights have been sold for £5 million and the Kerala rights for £1.5 million.
The movie is reportedly based on the life of two Telugu revolutionaries, Komaram Bheem and Alluri Sitaram Raju. 'RRR' is produced on a reported budget of £30 million and will be slated for a January 8, 2021 release.
