After the sky-high amount for video rights and cable rights the movie has fetched, the latest news is that international movie channel ‘HBO’ has plans to secure the rights of the English version of the movie. As per the news, talks are on with the HBO officials about selling the rights to the channel. And if the deed is realized, the movie makers will get another 15-18 crores as international cable rights, which itself will make the film a gigantic success.
