Mahesh Babu was last seen in the movie 'Brahmotsavam'. The movie clearly tanked at the Box—Office and it was a huge flop without a hint of doubt. But still, the craze for the movie was high and the movie did an exceptional pre-release business in USA and Canada.
The movie was sold for a whopping price of Rs.13.5 Crores in USA and Canada. While, Rajinikant's 'Kabali' went for a pre-release business of just 8.5 Crores. In America, Telugu movies do an exceptional business than Tamil movies.
Even Super Star Rajinikanth can't save Tamil cinema in overseas market. Overseas buyers never hesitate to spend more when it comes to Tollywood actors. But for Tamil, even if it is Super Star, they just take a pause and think twice to grab the rights.
What's even more surprising is, even Tamil movie 'Theri' and '24' were sold for a higher price than 'Kabali'. Inside sources said, the failure of 'Lingaa' has made the buyers to rethink their strategy twice.
