The Hindi satellite rights of one of India’s most anticipated upcoming movie ‘Baahubali 2’ have sold for a record-breaking price.

With the shooting of ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ yet to conclude, the film is already earning money for the producers.

According to reports, Baahubali 2’s Hindi version rights have been acquired by Sony TV (MSM Networks) for a whopping 51 crore.

Baahubali 2 will hit the screens worldwide on April 28, 2017. 

The sequel stars an ensemble cast including Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishnana and Sathyaraj.
