It may not be mentioned specially again that, huge following for Mahesh Babu in families is reason for his films getting fancy offers in terms of satellite rights.
Few of Mahesh Babu's films might have turned failures, but most of his films registered decent to record TRP ratings. Hence, demand will usually be high and TV channels spend gigantic prices to acquire satellite rights of the superstar's films.
If reports are anything to go by, satellite rights of Mahesh Babu's new film in AR Murugadoss's direction have been sold for shocking price of Rs 18 crores by a leading Telugu channel. It is a mere speculation until official confirmation comes from makers.
This is highest ever price for Mahesh Babu. His previous best was Brahmotsavam which fetched Rs 11.20 Cr to its makers.
Mahesh Babu is playing an intelligence officer in the yet to be titled movie that has Rakul Preet Singh in female lead and SJ Suryah as main antagonist. Production values of the movie will be rich, as producers are spending around Rs 90 to 100 crores on the project which is likely to release in summer, 2017. - See more at: http://www.gulte.com/movienews/51878/Shocking-Price-For-Mahesh-Film#sthash.Jvops2mj.dpuf
