One highly anticipated film set to release on Dussehra is ‘Leo,’ starring Vijay and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Lokesh’s previous works, ‘Khaidi’ and ‘Vikram,’ were super hits in Telugu, creating a significant craze for Vijay’s movies among Telugu audiences. With the added attraction of Trisha and Sanjay Dutt in the cast, the Telugu rights of ‘Leo’ were reportedly acquired for a staggering Rs. 22 crores, the highest rate for any Vijay film in the region.

Shah Rukh Khan will test his luck with ‘Jawan,’ directed by Atlee. The Telugu rights of ‘Jawan’ are valued at Rs. 15 crores, a record among Shah Rukh Khan films. All thanks to the majority of South technicians working on the project.

Rajinikanth, the iconic superstar, has a massive following in Telugu, but this time, his next film Jailer is not getting a superstar deal. But still, the film reportedly been sold for Rs. 15 crores.

‘Kanchana’ series has already shown strong collections in Telugu, leading to high expectations for ‘Chandramukhi 2.’ Hence, the film is also attracting impressive deals already.
