The satellite rights of director Koratala Siva's "Janatha Garage" have been sold for a record price. The makers of Junior NTR's film have roped in actress Kajal Aggarwal for a cameo role in the movie.

"Janatha Garage" is one of the most-awaited Telugu movies of 2016 and the hype surrounding the film had created lot of demand for its TV rights. Now, Maa TV has acquired its rights for a whopping price of Rs 12.50 crore. Mahesh S Koneru, the publicist for the film, tweeted: "Young Tiger NTR @tarak9999 's #JanathaGarage satellite rights picked up by MAA Tv for approx 12.5 Cr (Inclusive of Service Tax) "

Junior NTR's last outing "Nannaku Prematho" had fetched Rs. 10.25 crore from the sale of its satellite rights, which were acquired by Gemini TV. It was the highest price for the TV rights of a movie starring the young tiger. Now, "Janatha Garage" has beaten the record of "Nannaku Prematho" and it is the second highest price after "Sardaar Gabbar Singh," which has earned Rs. 13 crore from its rights.
