The all India distribution rights of Jr NTR’s upcoming action entertainer, Jai Lava Kusa have been sold for approximately Rs 80 crore, thereby becoming the second highest pre-release grosser post-Baahubali after Mahesh Babu’s SPYder, which fetched Rs 103 crore.
While the amount fetched by the Telugu version of Jai Lava Kusa is similar to that of SPYder, it is the Tamil version of the latter which has made all the difference. The Mahesh Babu-starrer is a bilingual film, releasing in Tamil and Telugu as well as dubbed in Malayalam. On the flip side, Jai Lava Kusa is releasing merely in Telugu.
In Jai Lava Kusa, Jr NTR would sport a triple role, including the negative lead of the film, and the same has created a lot of excitement among the audience and has increased the buzz surrounding the film. The movie is expected to embark on a solid start, however, it needs to earn over Rs 110 crore to be a safe bet for the distributors across the country.
