The record for the highest amount given for a Telugu film for satellite rights is with Rajamouli's epic "Baahubali".
The film's satellite rights were sold for record Rs 29 Cr for two parts - Baahubali The Beginning and Baahubali The Conclusion. Means each part fetched the producers Rs 14.5 Cr.
The producers of Pawan Kalyan's "Sardaar Gabbar Singh" are expecting more amount than the "Baahubali". Sharat Marrar is reportedly quoting Rs 15 Cr for the satellite rights of the movie but no TV channel is coming forward to pay such an exorbitant price.
Buzz in the industry is that Gemini TV which is lagging behind in TRP ratings is in negotiations with Sharat Marrar to buy the movie for Rs 13 Cr.
Even if the deal is closed for Rs 13 Cr, it will be record. Other than Baahubali, no Telugu film's satellite rights were sold for above Rs 12 Cr. So it will be record for Sardaar, if the deal is closed for such amount.
