Regional cinema is now attracting some big money for remake rights. When it was announced that the rights of the latest hit with a fresh script Nandini Reddy’s Kalyana Vaibhogame was up for grabs there were some high prices quoted for the same. A Tamil film-maker reportedly wanted to buy both Kannada and Tamil remake rights together.
Another offer has also come in; some Hindi producers are also toying with the idea of buying the rights. The film was made with a moderate budget, so the producer stands to earn great revenues if the satellite rights and the box office collections are taken into account.
We also hear about the Tamil film Visaranai, garnered a lot of praise from the likes of Rajnikanth, Kamal Haasan, Mani Ratnam and now a huge competition has begun to get the Telugu and Hindi remake rights. Looks like small films are set to rule the roost.
