Bollywood King Shah Rukh Khan's next movie is 'King'. Shah Rukh's daughter Suhana Khan is going to make her Bollywood debut through this movie. After the release of a sneak peek of the movie a few months ago, fans were amazed by Shah Rukh's look and Dhundhuma's action.
The song titled 'Tu Mil Jaye' was released on Monday. Shah Rukh's action and his romance with Deepika have also caught the attention of the audience. The song has garnered more than 3 crore 95 lakh views in a day. As a result, the audience is engrossed in the discussion about the movie. Meanwhile, there is a lot of discussion going on about the rights to screen the film in foreign theaters. All in all, the movie 'King' has earned a huge amount of money even before its release, which has made many people's eyes water! Let's find out the total budget and advance income of the movie Shah Rukh Khan and Sidharth Anand's own production company Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix are jointly producing the movie 'King'. The cost of its production is estimated at Rs 400 crore. Although the budget of the movie was initially estimated at Rs 200 crore. That figure was not low either. But as the shooting and production progressed, the budget also increased continuously.
The production cost of Rs 400 crore does not include Shah Rukh Khan's remuneration. However, it does include director Siddharth Anand's remuneration. If Shah Rukh's remuneration is added, the production cost of the film will be approximately Rs 500 crore (Bangladeshi Taka 655 crore 63 lakh). In addition, another Rs 40 crore may be spent on promotion of the release, including print and advertising (P&A).
According to this calculation, 'King' is going to be the second most expensive movie in Bollywood history. Before it, there are the movies of the 'Ramayan' series. The budget of each movie was more than 1 thousand crore rupees. However, the production cost of the movie 'King' is as sky-high as the income is huge.
Earlier, it was reported that the movie 'King' has received the highest overseas minimum guarantee (MG) of Rs 175 crore in the history of Indian cinema. That is, this minimum amount has been confirmed from the sale of the rights to display in foreign markets. Pen Marudhar has signed an advance agreement of Rs 250 crore for the rights to display in the country. As a result, the total income of the movie from the sale of the rights to display in the theaters alone has reached Rs 425 crore.
The movie 'King' has also shown great success in the market for selling rights outside the theaters. Netflix has bought the digital rights of the movie for Rs 150 crore. This deal is also linked to the box office success of the movie. That is, if the movie's business in theaters is good, the revenue from digital rights can increase further. When the digital rights market is facing a significant downturn, the fact that the movie 'King' has been able to sell the rights at such a high price is undoubtedly a remarkable thing! Meanwhile, the music rights of the movie 'King' have been sold for Rs 65 crore. And the satellite rights have been sold for Rs 25 crore. In total, the income of the movie 'King' has stood at Rs 665 crore before its release (871 crore 98 lakh taka in Bangladeshi currency). It is expected that this huge income will increase further after the release Shah Rukh Khan's 'King' also stars Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Kharaj Mukerji, Suhana Khan, Akshay Oberoi and others. Interestingly, Kareena Kapoor Khan will be seen in a special role in the movie. If everything goes well, the movie will be released worldwide on December 24.
