Most
of
the
Kannada
film
directors
and
producers
want
to
have
a
piece
of
Powerstar
Puneet
Rajkumar.
The
reason
behind
this
that
the
Sandalwood
King's
movies
hardly
fail
at
the
Box
Office.
Now,
his
latest
movie
Jackie
with
director
Suri
is
ready
for
release
and
the
business
lobby
has
already
offered
unheard
prices
for
the
film.
It
is
said
that
the
distribution
rights
of
the
movie
have
been
sold
for
more
than
Rs
8
crores.
The
sources
in
Gandhinagar
Galli
say
that
a
big
distributor
had
offered
Rs.
8
crores
for
obtaining
the
distribution
rights
in
three
areas
like
Bangalore,
Shimoga
and
North
Karnataka.
Meanwhile,
Rockline
Venkatesh
was
also
said
to
have
offered
Rs.
2
crores
for
the
Northern
Karnataka
distribution
area
and
Rs.
55
lacs
for
Shimoga.
But
Raghavendra
Rajkumar
has
an
uncanny
business
sense
to
get
the
best
out
of
his
much-awaited
film.
He
is
said
to
have
sold
out
the
distribution
rights
to
the
big
distributor,
who
offered
Rs.
8
crores.
This
is
the
first
time
that
a
Kannada
film
has
been
offered
such
a
big
prize
for
the
outright
distribution
of
the
film.
Meanwhile,
the
music
of
Jackie
is
selling
like
a
hot
cake
in
the
market.
Sources
claim
that
the
music
rights
and
satellite
rights
of
the
film
have
also
been
sold
at
a
record
price.
So
it
is
said
that
even
before
the
release
of
the
movie,
the
producer
has
earned
more
than
what
he
invested
on
the
movie.
With
this,
the
film
Jackie
has
beaten
the
sales
records
of
Rajinikanth
and
Aishwarya
Bachchan
starrer
Tamil
movie
Endhiran
in
Karnataka.
The
distribution
rights
of
Endhiran
in
Karnataka
have
been
sold
for
a
whopping
amount
of
9.75
crores.
