Saaho to Hit 10,000 Screens in India!

After Super Star Rajinikanth’s 2.0, Prabhas’ Saaho is going to be released in 10,000 screens in India. In two Telugu states alone, the film is going to have 2000 screens! Saaho will be released on August 30 in four languages -- Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam. Being made on a huge budget of Rs 350 crores, the moviemakers are trying to get huge profits too. And so, they are releasing the film in maximum possible screens. As four Indian big films have given a way to support Saaho, it became easy for the makers to release the movie in a large number of screens. Prabhas’ first big film Baahubali was released in 9000 screens.

Saaho is the first film that got a Twitter emoji and people are using it now extensively. According to the sources, Saaho’s makers have decided to increase the ticket price to Rs 200 in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Earlier, Maharshi makers did the same for which Telangana government didn’t agree. Decided to not leave it, makers have approached high court citing that that big-budget films in Tollywood can make profits only if they hike prices in the first week. Now, Saaho makers are also going to follow the same rule.

But, it seems Saaho is already in the safe zone as the pre-release business has been done very well! The online streaming platform Amazon has bought the rights of the film for Rs 40 crores while the satellite rights for Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam were sold for Rs 70 crore and Hindi rights fetched another Rs 70 crores. So, 110 crores have been collected through the film’s satellite rights. The theatrical rights were sold out for Rs 290 crores globally. So, it seems there is no need to hike the price even in the first week!
