The total Pre-release revenue is expected to be around 800-850cr. Going by the reports, the makers of RRR will almost reach the breakeven mark only with non-theatrical rights. Producers will take home incredible never before ever after table profits with a profit number around 400cr.
RRR is a fictional story of India's freedom fighters, Alluri Sitarama Raju (Charan) and Komaram Bheem (NTR) who fought against the British Raj and Nizam of Hyderabad, respectively.
