Salman Khan may have missed the Eid deadline this year, but he’s sure to have a kickass Eid 2021 release.
And if reports are to be believed, he’s just cracked a HUGE deal for his next – ‘Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai’.
Radhe was initially being planned to release theatrically by YRF globally on a commission basis, however, now Salman has reportedly entered into a deal with Zee Studios instead – for a whopping amount of 230 crores!
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Salman has sold the satellite, theatrical (India + Overseas), digital and music rights of Radhe – Your Most Wanted Bhai to Zee Studios for Rs. 230 crores, which is the biggest deal in Covid times. They have been discussing the possibility of collaboration all through the lockdown and the deal was finally cracked early in December. It’s a reasonable deal that has led to a table profit for Salman whereas Zee, too, doesn’t have much risk involved given that Salman’s films command a great return value in terms of digital and satellite viewing side by side music streaming on various platforms.”
“It’s a blanket deal, and a beginning of partnership for the two. Salman’s production, Kaagaz featuring Pankaj Tripathi, too, is seeing a premiere on Zee’s streaming platform. He also has a multi-film satellite deal with Zee Network and his last 3 releases – Race 3, Bharat and Dabangg 3 – saw the world television premiere on Zee Cinema,” the trade source added.
This Salman Khan actioner is a remake of the Korean movie ‘The Outlaws’, starring Disha Patani as the female lead, with Randeep Hooda playing the baddie. Jackie Shroff will also be featured prominently as a cop. Khan wrapped up shooting in October itself and the makers are gearing up for an Eid 2021 cinema release.
