The shooting for Dabangg 2 is yet to start and it has
already earned Rs. 50 crores in the kitty. The shooting is slated to begin from
the early days of March. However, the film has already started to generate
revenue for Arbaaz Khan – the producer of the film and brother of Salman Khan.
Star Network is said to have purchased the satellite rights for
as many as 11 years. The rights are supposed to be bought for a sum of Rs. 50
cr. If the sources are to be believed, the amount paid of Star Network is the
largest ever for a film for its satellite rights.
T-series, the music company has bought the music rights for
Rs. 10 crores.
It will be a directorial debut for Arbaaz Khan. The sequel
will see the same pair of Sonakshi Sinha and Salman Khan. Dabangg was directed
by Abhinav Kashyap. Dabangg was produced with a total budget of Rs. 30
crores and another Rs. 12 crores were set aside for marketing. It seems the
sequel will break these records too.
The film is scheduled for Christmas release.
