Akshay Kumar’s Toilet: Ek Prem Katha Pockets A Superb Deal Of Rs 53 Crore!

Now, we can tell you that the film has got not Rs 52 crore but a Rs 53 crore deal. Yes, you read that right!

The film, a satirical take on a battle against the age-old tradition of open defecation in the country, has been sold to Viacom for the said amount.

SpoboyE.com has it that KriArj (Prerna Arora and Arjun N.Kapoor) had almost locked the deal with Anil Aggarwal (a leading distributor in New Delhi) for Rs 52 crore on MG basis. However, Viacom showed keen interest and not only matched the deal but also upped it by 1 crore.

Thus KriArj and Cape Of Good Films (co-producers of the film) have hit profit on table now. Overseas rights, however, will remain with KriArj.

Needless to say, Anil Aggarwal was upset and made frantic calls to KriArj office, but the production house has already sealed the deal with Viacom.

This figure of Rs 53 crore is an all-time high for Akshay Kumar. We told you that the superstar’s Rustom was sold for Rs 42 crore.

Meanwhile, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha has been grabbing eyeballs ever since the trailer of the film dropped. Owing to its subject, it has been applauded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well. The project hits theatres on August 11.

Back to business, it’s unarguably a wonderful deal!
