SRK’s very good friend and director Karan Johar has supported Raees. As per a popular daily, he had a great hand in getting best deals for the distribution of Raees. According to the sources, it is said that Karan’s production company had not just presented Baahubali, but even bought the Hindi rights for the film. When SRK, Riteish Sidwani, and Farhan Akhtar locked Anil Thadani as the distributor for Raees, Karan told Shah Rukh how to get the best deal from single-screen owners.
The source further added that Anil owns the distribution rights of Baahubali 2 and Mirzya so he made the single-theatre owners sign a three-film deal and that he would give them these films only if they gave him maximum screens for Raees too. Now, for exhibitors, Baahubali 2 is one of the hottest releases of 2017 so they had no choice but to agree.
Well, if there’s no single screen left for Kaabil to release, the makers and the team might have to suffer. As per the sources, the film will suffer badly if it doesn’t have any single-screen theatres in Mumbai.
Should Hrithik change the release date of his film? Or he should release his film without having any single screen theatre? Tell us your views in the comment section.
