SS Rajamouli's Baahubali released last year in July and set cash registers ablaze. With terrific VFX sequences coupled with a brilliant screenplay and outstanding performances, Baahubali was lauded worldwide. And the wait for it's conclusive sequel Baahubali 2 has been on ever since then. 

The makers have finally announced the film will hit screens on April 28, 2017. Currently, Rajamouli is busy finishing the action scenes which will be over by August end, post which the team needs to shoot two more songs and the entire shoot will be wrapped by November. But the pre-release deals for the sequel has been historic. If Kabali raked in Rs 200 crore even before its release, Baahubali 2 has gone a step further and earned Rs 350 crore from all its pre-release deals, which is fantastic. 

Overseas rights for Baahubali have been sold for the highest ever price for any south Indian film to Raja Rajan, from Chennai's K Productions. Along with that, Rajan has also bought the theatrical rights for the film in Tamil Nadu. Cumulatively, the amount is close to a whopping Rs 100 crore itself. 

Theatrical rights for other South India markets - Andhra Pradesh and Telangana - too have brought in another Rs 100 crore for the film. Hindi theatricals may even touch Rs 120 crore. 

Over and above, Baahubali will be released in three different languages - Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Overseas rights of all the three language versions have been sold together for around RS 52 crore. 

That means the film has nearly earned Rs 350 crore much before it releases or even way before its theatrical promo hits screens. Such is the power of Rajamouli's magnum opus.
