It was recently rumoured that the makers of RRR were quoting the prices for its rights for different regions based on the earnings of Baahubali 2 distributors. The movie earned Rs 67 crore, Rs 35 crore, Rs 26.50 crore and Rs 58 crore for its distributors of Nizam, Ceded, Vizag and Karnataka, respectively. RRR movie has fetched even bigger prices than these earnings.

Baahubali 2 was released in five languages and it had earned Rs 831 crore for its worldwide distributors. Now, RRR movie, which is made with a budget of Rs 400 crore, will be released in 10 languages. Considering its above prices, the Junior NTR and Ram Charan starrer would fetch nothing less than Rs 1,000 crore from the sale of its global theatrical rights.
