Mohanlal distributes Rajinikanth’s Kabali in 250 centres in Kerala
Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth’s latest movie, Kabali is gearing up for release this month. The movie is touted to be released in around 5000 theatres all over the globe. In Kerala, Superstar Mohanlal’s Aashiravad Max Lab who bagged the distribution rights is preparing to release the movie in around 250 centres. 6000 shows are estimated for this biggie in Kerala with 6 shows on daily basis.
One of the owners of Aashiravad Cinemas-Max Lab, Antony Perumbavoor believes that movies like Kabali release only rarely and there was tough competition for gaining the distribution rights for Kabali release. Antony Perumbavoor tells that there was huge bargaining over the outright prices and finally the amount was settled for 8.5 crores. So obviously the risk involved is also very high to break even the whopping amount.
