After the Baahubali franchise, Prabhas is heading for a massive release with Saaho. Directed by Sujeeth, Saaho is scheduled to hit the theatres on August 15. Going by the hype the movie has created so far, it seems like Saaho will beat all the non-Baahubali records across the country in terms of business.

Baahubali-2 is the movie which collected the highest Pre-Release Business in India till date. Owing to the huge success of the first installment of 'Baahubali', the sequel garnered Rs. 350 crore business worldwide. Having secured a global image post-Baahubali, the craze for Prabhas has reached new dimensions with Saaho. The trade analysts are predicting that the movie is expected to make Rs. 255 crore business.

There have been huge exceptions in terms of pre-release business in Andhra Pradesh, it is learned. It is likely that Saaho will do Rs. 80 to Rs. 85 crore business in all the areas of the state. In the case of Telangana (Nizam), Rs. 35 to Rs. 40 crore business is expected. Combining both the states, the producers are estimating at least Rs. 115 to 120 crore business.

'Baahubali 2' released in Telugu states raising more than Rs. 197 crore as Distributor Share. In view of the craze for 'Saaho' in Telugu states, Rs. 120 crore business is possible. Since this is a huge budget movie, the producers are not expecting anything less.

As per the reports, overseas rights to the film 'Saaho' have already been sold out for Rs. 42 crores. This is the first time a South Indian film has received such a rate in the overseas market. It may be attributed to the reason that the movie has not been made only targetting the Telugu audiences and the Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam audience have already put high expectations on the movie.

In terms of Rest of India Pre-Release Business, Karnataka Rights were sold for Rs. 27 crores while North India Rights were reportedly sold for Rs. 50 crores. Tamil Nadu and Kerala together are expected to garner Rs. 21 crore as a pre-release business.

Made with a massive budget of Rs. 300 crore, Saaho, the theatrical rights target has been set to Rs. 255 crore. It is likely that the movie will secure Rs 300 crores with all the rights combines including Satellite Rights, Digital Streaming Rights, Audio Rights.
