Vishwambhara: Overseas Sold Out, U.S. Breakeven
Megastar Chiranjeevi has finally put an end to the criticism of not taking up exciting projects or what we call a film of his stature since his comeback. Vishwambhara is a project that perfectly aligns with current trends and the mood of theater-going audiences, also bringing goodwill to the people associated with a project like this.
The overseas deal for Vishwambhara is sealed and acquired by the popular overseas distributor Sarigama Cinemas, known for flawless releases when it comes to big-scale films. The entire overseas rights have been bought for 18 crores. Vishwambhara needs to collect $4 million to achieve the U.S.A break-even point, but the way Sarigama plans massive premier releases well in advance, and with Megastar Chiranjeevi’s name attached to a fantasy film, this figure is pretty much achievable, if the content supports. The range will depend on how director Vassishta scales up this film. It is worth noting that the overseas deal is closed much before the shoot begins, showing the interest in the trade for this film.
