Salman Khan’s screenwriter father, Salim Khan, is so confident of the success of his son’s forthcoming film, Ready, that he has gone ahead and bought the distribution rights of the film for a few territories.
Yes, Salim Khan has bought the distribution rights of ‘Ready’ for the C.P.C.I. Rajasthan territories from the worldwide distributor, Ponty Chadha, for a formidable sum of Rs. 6.21 crore (Rs. 62.1 million). And, instead of buying the rights of his son’s film at a concessional rate, Salim Khan went ahead and told Ponty that he would pay him Rs. 5 lakh more than what Ponty would have made by selling the rights to someone else.
