Kabali's North India rights acquired for whopping sum

Rajinikanth’s Kabali is now the most awaited movie in Kollywood, with the buzz around it increasing day by day. Since the superstar’s last two films weren’t exactly a rage at the box office, Kabali is one of the most highly anticipated films.

The film's unit is taking up the promotions in a big way.

Recently, Fox Star India acquired the Hindi rights for the North Indian circuit along with the satellite rights of the film’s Hindi language for a whopping figure. Now it is said that Kabali’s Hindi version will be launched in nearly 1000 screens across North India, which is a humongous number for any dubbed film.

According to trade pundits, Kabali is slated for a worldwide release on July 22, 2016, though there is no official confirmation yet.

Meanwhile, according to reports from The Times of India, 'Ice Age: Collision Course' which was slated to release on July 15, first shifted its release to July 22 to avoid a clash with Kabali. But now since Kabali has been pushed to a week later, Ice Age has been moved back to its earlier date of July 15, a week before its US release.

Kabali has done about Rs 200 crore of pre-release business already. Produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu, Kabali features Rajinikanth in the titular role of a don. Radhika Apte, Dhansika, Attakathi Dinesh and Kalaiarasan will be seen in important roles.
