NEW DELHI: Indian blockbuster film Baahubali: The Beginning by S S Rajamouli is all set to release in seven territories across Asia.
MVP Entertainment will release the film in Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Timor-Leste.
The deal was struck at the recently concluded Busan Asian Film Market between MVP president Raam Punjabi and manager Vikas Sharma and the film’s co-producer Shobu Yarlagadda and Francois da Silva from Arka Mediaworks International.
Additionally, the film has already got dates for release in China and Japan in conjunction with E Stars for China and Twin Co. for Japan.
The opening film of the Busan Film Festival’s Open Cinema Stand, Baahubali has grossed $92 million so far.
Rajamouli’s earlier film Eega was screened at Toronto, Shanghai, and several other international film festivals, giving him a cult status.
Rajamouli has shot about 40 per cent of Baahubali: The Conclusion and will commence the rest in November-end in Hyderabad’s Ramoji Film City. Some forest sequences will be shot in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
The film is expected to be release by the end of next year, and will be released simultaneously in Telugu, Hindi and other languages.
The film’s success lay in the final epic war scene that was filmed with a lot of ingenuity and original stunts. Owing to the grandeur, the budget of the two Baahubali films has gone up from $40 million to $50 million.
The Baahubali saga is about brothers in medieval India in conflict over a rich kingdom and is rich in imagery, battles and skulduggery. It stars Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannah, Sathyaraj and Ramya Krishnan.
