Thursday, 30th March 2017, 5:11 PM IST Confused how? It’s true. Distributor Akshaye Rathi confirmed the news that ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ had earned zero profit thanks to ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’, because the shoot of the latter had started right after completing the first part. Distributor Akshaye Rathi said, “The overall cost and budget of both films including production and marketing is around Rs 450 crore. The whole ‘Baahubali’ franchise comprises two movies. Makers ended up investing a large chunk of overall cost on the sets and locations. Even before the release of ‘Baahubali’, makers had shot a major portion of the second film. So while makers invested the entire amount on both movies combined, they are looking for revenues from both films. The revenues from theatrical rights of both films will be around Rs 600 crore. So makers are going to earn a bare minimum of Rs 150-200 crore of profit from both films. Karan was only distributing the Hindi version of ‘Baahubali’. So he was paid a certain amount and he got his revenue from the film. He obviously made money and so did Anil Thadani. If ‘Baahubali 2’ gets released, producers are sure going to earn a profit. Eventually, everyone associated with the franchise will make money. Creating ‘Baahubali’ was a calculated risk. The makers are taking the world of ‘Baahubali’ beyond theatres, satellite and digital. It’s 360-degree monetization. It’s about an experience that has been crafted for the big screen.” ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ is slated to release on 28th April 2017.
