SS Rajamouli’s next RRR is still months away from hitting theatres, but the film has already started yielding huge profits for the makers. Recently, Jayantilal Gada of Pen Studios acquired the satellite and digital rights of the magnum-opus for an exorbitant price.

Gada has bought the satellite, digital rights and electronic rights for all languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi. In addition to the aforementioned rights, the producer has also bagged the Hindi theatrical rights of RRR for a whopping amount of 1400 million (approximately £1,356,871.14) Indian rupees. The filmmaker spent 4750 million (approximately £ 4,360,636.30) Indian rupees for the blanket deal.

The latest we hear that now Jayantilal Gada has further sold the rights of the film to ZEE Group. Reportedly, the group has spent a bomb for the all-language post-release digital and satellite rights of RRR.

Spilling more beans, a source close to the development informs an entertainment portal, “Baahubali was a smash hit on all mediums – theatrical, television, digital – and the trade is expecting the same from RRR too. The makers have sold the post-release satellite and digital rights of RRR to ZEE Group for a humongous sum in the range of ₹325 crores (approximately £ 3,149,348.44), thereby making it the biggest post-release deal of all time. The satellite and digital rights have been transferred by Jayantilal Gada to ZEE Group.”

Some media outlets recently reported that the makers of RRR were joining hands with Star Network for satellite and digital rights of the film. However, the source adds that the network is out of the race now and the rights have already been purchased by ZEE Group. “But these are post-release streaming rights and should not be mistaken for a direct-to-digital premiere,” adds the source.

Produced by Lyca Productions, RRR stars Jr NTR and Ram Charan in lead roles. Bollywood actors Ajay Devgn and Alia Bhatt play important cameos in the film. The makers have locked October 13, 2021, for the theatrical release of the film, but the date is expected to be pushed further due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Rami Malek and Indira Varma star in The Old Vic’s Oedipus adaptation

The Old Vic in London has unveiled its latest production, a fresh adaptation of Sophocles’ timeless tragedy Oedipus, featuring Academy Award winner Rami Malek and Olivier Award winner Indira Varma in the lead roles. The play, which runs until March 29, 2025, promises to be a gripping reimagining of the ancient Greek tale, blending drama, dance, and music under the co-direction of Matthew Warchus and choreographer Hofesh Shechter.

Malek takes on the role of Oedipus, the king determined to save his city from a devastating plague by uncovering the truth behind the murder of his predecessor, King Laius. Varma plays Jocasta, Oedipus’ wife, whose connection to the unfolding tragedy adds layers of complexity to the story. The production also features a strong supporting cast, including Nicholas Khan as Creon, Joseph Mydell as the Corinthian, Cecilia Noble as Tiresias, and Nicholas Woodeson as the Shepherd. The Hofesh Shechter Company’s dancers bring a different energy to the stage, strengthening the emotional intensity of the whole narrative.

"I didn't know what sexy meant": Jennifer Love Hewitt reflects on being sexualized as a teenager

Jennifer Love Hewitt recently reflected on her early years in Hollywood, revealing how she was sexualised as a teenager without fully understanding it at the time. In a candid conversation on Mayim Bialik’s 'Breakdown' podcast, the 45-year-old actress shared that at just 16, she was subjected to inappropriate comments from grown men about her body, particularly her breasts. These remarks were often made openly in interviews, which Hewitt now finds disturbing, given the context of her age.

Hewitt, who became famous after starring in I Know What You Did Last Summer in 1997, recalled how the attention on her physical appearance increased after she appeared on the cover of 'Maxim' in 1999. Men would approach her, mentioning how they took her magazine on trips, but at the time, she didn’t fully grasp the sexual undertones of these comments. “I didn’t know what that meant,” she admitted, adding that it felt strange to be labelled a sex symbol before even knowing what being "sexy" meant.
