Leading the race is one of the above with an offer of around Rs 50 crore."
The source also shared, "King is setting records in non-theatrical business. It is on the verge of sealing one of the biggest deals ever for an original music album in Hindi. One must note that Ramayana is Rs 75 crore for both parts together, and King is on the verge of closing with Rs 50 crore with a single film."
While an official announcement is still awaited, the reported figure reflects that the film's soundtrack can be one of the major highlights of the upcoming action thriller film.
