The Hindi film industry is up for a mega clash at the Indian box office this Diwali as Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 are ready to lock horns on November 1. Considering both are threequels of popular Bollywood franchises, expectations are sky high. Given the hype on the ground level, both biggies have managed to fetch superb numbers in non-theatrical pre-release business. So today, let’s find out where both stand in terms of budget, pre-release business, and fees of the leading stars (Ajay Devgn and Kartik Aaryan).
Both films are mounted on a huge budget and are shot on a grand scale. The Singham threequel, being an action-packed big-screen entertainer, is a more costly affair and even though the actual number is not disclosed, it is learned that the film is made on a budget of 300 crores.
Coming to the Bhool Bhulaiyaa threequel, this one too is mounted on a huge cost but considering the genre of horror comedy, it’s comparatively much lower than Singham Again. Though the exact number is not known, it is learned that the film is made on a budget of 150 crores.
Here also, Singham Again is in the lead and it’s quite obvious considering the track record of Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty’s combo. Also, the Singham franchise and the Cop Universe are highly popular, leading to making it an attractive deal for the buyers. Reportedly, well before hitting theatres, the film has amassed a staggering 200 crores through non-theatrical business, which includes deals regarding digital/OTT rights, satellite/TV rights, and music rights.
The Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise has come a long way in terms of popularity and though many didn’t like Kartik Aaryan replacing Akshay Kumar, there’s a big section of the audience that actually liked the second installment helmed by Anees Bazmee. As a result, the sequel was a huge theatrical success and that has paved the way for some mouth-watering pre-release deals for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
If reports are to be believed, the Bhool Bhulaiyaa threequel has earned a whopping 135 crores through digital, satellite, and music rights.
For Singham Again, Ajay Devgn is on board as a producer, so he’ll be enjoying a share in the profits that will be inclusive of non-theatrical and theatrical business. Apart from that, he has reportedly received an upfront salary of 35 crores.
Talking about Kartik Aaryan, he has received the biggest paycheck of his career and as disclosed by the actor himself, he has received 40 crores for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
