Saaho beats Baahubali as rights in Telugu states sold for Rs 125 crores

The theatrical rights of Prabhas starrer Saaho have been sold for Rs 125 crore in Telugu states, surpassing Rs 122 crore that SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2 fetched before release.

According to trade reports, Saaho has done phenomenal business even before release. In order to break even and enter profit zone, the film should approximately gross over Rs 175 crore in Andhra and Telangana. 

“Saaho has done unbelievable pre-release business. While it’s amazing the film has fetched such high numbers, it’s equally important that the film performs on par with expectations. Saaho has to collect around Rs 200 crore from Telugu states alone to be safe at the box-office."
