Further, its OTT run earned unprecedented fame and triggered humongous pre-release buzz ahead of Chapter 2's release.

Now, if the data of Cinetrak is to be believed, the film had been a lottery for distributors as its share stands at a whopping 535 crores.

It’s a profit made by worldwide distributors after subtracting the buying price.

If we compare this with KGF Chapter 2’s budget of 100 crores, the share is more than 5X the making cost.
