When you speak about the overseas market, it is primarily the USA and to an extent UK markets. After that, the Gulf region comes into the picture and usually the rights for Gulf go at a peanut price. However, the upcoming movie Dictator has created a record of sorts.
According to reports, the Gulf rights for this movie have been sold at fifteen lakhs and this is considered to be a record price in that area. There is a valid reason behind this kind of transaction. Nandamuri Natasimham Balakrishna has got immense following among the Gulf audience.
A majority of the Gulf audience comprises of the Telugu masses who do various types of low-end jobs and they relish watching Balayya mouthing some powerful and thundering dialogues. But this movement from Dictator has created a new momentum in the Gulf market. Meanwhile, Dictator has been certified U/A by the censor board and is all set for a grand release on Jan 14.
