45 FOR ENTHIRAN, 17 FOR BILLA 2

“Film is such a collaborative medium,” once said Daryl Hannah, Hollywood actress. She might have meant her co-actors and the crew. But there is more meaning to it. Filmmaking is not only a difficult art, but also a complex business. We know films as an entertainment medium and as a money spinner when it comes to the box office (or otherwise in some cases). But there are more sources of revenue for a film other than just the box office. So, in this article Behindwoods explores the other sources of revenue for films from what is called the ‘Intellectual Property Rights’ or IPR in filmmaking.

Any property, movable or immovable, can be protected legally from being stolen. A film involves a lot of such physical and intangible intellects that face the threat of being stolen or pirated. That’s where copyrights, trademarks, privacy rights and publicity rights come into act.

A film with a big star cast and high expectations gets back huge sum or sometimes more than what was put in, through selling rights, even before it hits the screens. When we say rights it involves audio rights, distribution rights (domestic and overseas), digital rights, satellite rights, mobile rights, terrestrial rights, IPTV and internet rights and many more. These rights play a very important role in the performance of a film, as a product.

As mentioned before, these rights sometimes get sold for very high prices. Let’s take some instances of big stars, in whose films these intellectual properties have been big revenue generators.

Superstar Rajinikanth, arguably one of the biggest stars in India, not only draws his own fans, but also has the ability to attract all classes of people. His films are always very big grossers. Considering the fact that he has fans all across the globe, the rights of his films get acquired for very high amounts.

His blockbuster Chandramukhi’s rights were sold for around 20 crores, Sivaji for more than 30 crores and Enthiran saw a revenue of Rs 45 crores from satellite, overseas and audio rights alone. Its music rights were sold to Think Music for a massive Rs 7 crores, which is still the highest for Tamil films.

Similarly, Ajith too has a very big fan base in Tamil Nadu. He also has a very steep and upward growth rate, when it comes to profits from sale of various rights. While Aasal garnered 10 crores altogether, Billa 2, made at a budget of 35 crores, earned around 43 crores including its TN distribution rights.  The film received about 17 crores from other peripheral rights alone.

Generally, the films that involve names like director Shankar, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Mani Ratnam, actor Vijay, AR Rahman etc. go for big numbers. The satellite rights of Shankar’s Nanban alone were sold for Rs 12 crores to Vijay TV, which is still one of the highest for a Tamil movie. Similarly the satellite rights of Vijay starrer Thuppakki and Rajini’s Kochadaiyaan have gone to the hands of Jaya TV for mammoth rates. The audio rights of Neethane En Ponvasantham have been acquired by Sony Music, which are the highest in the film’s composer, Isaignani Ilayaraja’s career. The price is rumored to be in the range of 2-2.5 crores. 

There are remake rights and prequel/sequel rights, which are big revenue generators too. But they are only sold after a film performs well at the box office. The Dirty Picture and Kahaani are the hot remake deals in India now.

On the whole, filmmaking is not just shooting and acting. Film is a very huge property, owned by many and is surely a collaborative business.

Allu Arjun & Ajith Clash at box office

Will two heavyweight stars Ajith and Allu Arjun clash at the Box Office? This looks to be the case as both films are slated for release on July 13th at this point of time.

While Ajith is a superstar in Tamil Nadu, he has a reasonable market here in Andhra Pradesh. Bunny meanwhile has a sizeable market of his own and the presence of Trivikram Srinivas as the director of ‘Julay’ will only add to the movie’s appeal.

If both these movies release on the same day, they could end up cannibalizing each other’s openings and this could prompt one of the production houses to postpone the release.

The downside is that the month of July is packed and any such changes will end up upsetting the plans of other movies. What will happen?

We will have to wait and see.

Billa 2 - New Trailer launch on Monday 2nd July

Billa 2 New Trailer

Ajith’s Billa 2 will have a very big new trailer launch on Monday July 2 at the majestic Anna Centenary Library auditorium at Kotturpuram in Chennai.

It will be a grand red carpet event as the producers are planning to telecast it later on a leading channel. All stars and technicians connected with the film except for Ajith will be attending this event.
Ajith is the only actor in India who as a policy never attends any promotional events associated with his films. Parvathy Omanakuttan the heroine of the film has tweeted that she along with the rest of the unit will be there for this event.
The producers of Billa 2 has announced that it will release worldwide on July 13 in over 1000 screens.

New song in 'Billa 2!'

Here's some good news for Thala Ajith fans. The 'Billa 2' music album will soon have a value addition, in terms of a new song!

"A special song was kept under the wraps so far. It will be launched soon as a prelude to the film's release. The number by Yuvan Shankar Raja will be a treat to Ajith's fans and music lovers," say sources.

Earlier, the strategy was adopted by Mani Ratnam, who launched 'Endrendrum Punnagai...' as a separate track after the official audio launch of 'Alaipayudhe'.

Watch this space for more details about the exciting track in 'Billa 2'.

Ajith Billa 2 movie record release in France

For the first time, a Tamil movie is hitting the theatres in more than 10+ screens in France with French subtitles. The latest press release of Billa 2 says, " IN Entertainment is working with the sub-distributors to generate wider audiences and a larger exposure to Tamil films. Towards this objective, Billa 2 is being readied to release with subtitles in several countries.

It further adds, "In France, the film will release on 10+ screens with French subtitles thus making it one of the very few Indian films to release on 10+ screens in France. The film will release with Malay subtitles in Malaysia, Arabic subtitles in the Gulf and with English subtitles in other parts of the world.
Billa 2 also is all set to have wide release in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala along with North India. The Telugu dubbed version will be released as David Billa. Both Tamil and Telugu versions will be released in Karnataka.

The gangster-thriller film stars sensational Ajith, dazzling Parvathy Omanakuttan and glamorous Bruna Abdullah. It is a sequel to Billa directed by Vishnuvardhan. The movie tells the story of the baddie David Billa, who was killed in the first instalment.

Ajith at the Gym for his Next Movie

Director Vishnuvardhan is very keen about giving Ajith a makeover for his untitled film. He has changed the hair style of Ajith and has retained the salt and pepper look of Ajith which he sported in Mankatha. Now the news is that Ajith has been asked to work out vigorously to get his body in shape.

Ajith at gym

Today Vishnuvardhan, on his social networking site said, “Guys! This needs to be shared with all the well wishers. Ajith in gym for five and a half hours, for the past 7 days. Result is awesome!”

Ajith Vishnuvardhan - Mumbai Schedule changed to Banglore !!!

Vishnuvardhan’s untitled project starring Ajith is 25% complete. They were shooting in Mumbai with a steady pace until the monsoon played spoilsport. The team will be travelling to Bangalore today for their next schedule and return to Mumbai soon after the monsoon is over, to can the remaining sequences.

The Bangalore shoot will involve Ajith, Nayanthara, Atul Kulkarni and Mahesh Manjrekar. The film, which also stars Arya and Taapsee, is expected to hit the screens this Diwali. PS Vinod is wielding the camera and Sreekar Prasad is editing the film.

'Billa 2' Movie Release Date Postponed to June 29 or July 6

The release date of Ajith Kumar's upcoming much hyped movie Billa-2 under the direction of Chakri Toleti is postponed once again. The movie, which was supposed to release on June 22,2012. But now the release date is pushed to June 29, 2012 or July 6,2012.

As per the buzz, the major reason to push the date is to avoid a clash with Karthi's Saguni, which is hitting screens on June 22. Even though Billa 2 is made with a big budget than Saguni, film makers believed that the two big releases on the same week would eat each other's business.

Hence, they have postponed the film. Billa 2 has been censored and has got 'A' certificate. Billa 2 is a gangster film where as 'Saguni' is political thriller.

Billa 2 is also releasing simultaneously in Telugu as 'David Billa'. Parvathy Omanakuttan, former Miss India 2008 is playing the leading lady role. Meenakshi Dixit will be seen in an important girl, Burana Abdulla dances for an item song and Vidyut Jamwal plays the villain role in the movie. Rahman and Prabhu will be seen in other important roles. Yuvan Shankar Raja composed music for the movie.

Billa 2 gets “A” Certificate from the Regional Censor Board

Billa 2 officially got ‘A’ certificate and will be announced after certification paper is given by censors in a day or two.
Billa 2 producers have guts to go for ‘A’ certificate instead of agreeing for too many cuts & going for “U” certificate just 4 tax exemption! Way 2 go forward!
As it just got censored and discussions going on whether they will revise the certificate with Certain cuts.
The Regional Censor board appreciated the stylish making of Billa.
The release date also will be let known tomorrow by Aascar Ravichandran.
Stay tuned for Further Updates….
