Mahesh Babu Beats Pawan Kalyan

Till yesterday, all the pre-release records inclusive of highest paid satellite rights movie were on the name of Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Atharintiki Daaredi’ arriving soon in theatres. Directed by Trivikram Srinivas with Samanta and Praneetha as heroines, the movie is tagged as a complete family entertainer with less action. But, Mahesh Babu’s ‘1 Nenokkadine’ directed by Sukumar has crossed Pawan’s ‘AD’ in the race of satellite rates.

As per the reports from film sources, Gemini TV bagged the satellite rights of ‘1’ (including dubbed versions) for a never heard number. Apparently, the movie is still in production stages and might arrive for Pongal. On the other hand, ‘AD’ satellite rights are won by MAA TV after a tight competition. However, the difference of price between ‘AD’ and ‘1’ is heard to be marginally low.
