A still from Baahubali - The Beginning.
Chennai:
It's been a year since Baahubali - The Beginning released and the film is still making money in international markets. The film released last week in China and has debuted at the 9th place in the box office.
The film opened across a massive number of 6000 screens in China, a first for an Indian movie. The film released alongside Jackie Chan's action comedy Skiptrace over a 4-day weekend. The epic-drama has since earned $0.63 million and collections are said to be steadily increasing. The Chinese version has been trimmed by 20 minutes and lends itself to a much tauter script.
The distribution rights were acquired by the Chinese firm E Star at a whopping price. The firm will most likely also distribute its sequel Baahubali - The Conclusion.
Baahubali - The Beginning stars actor Prabhas in the title role, apart from Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah, Anushka Shetty, Sathyaraj, Ramya Krishnan and Nassar, who feature in key roles. The epic war drama is directed by S S Rajamouli. M M Keeravani has composed music for the movie.
