Spyder is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated releases of this year. The film stars Mahesh Babu in the role of an Intelligence Bureau officer, and going by the first glimpse, it’s tipped to be a story based on bio-terrorism. Cashing on the buzz surrounding the film, its international theatrical rights have been snapped for Rs 23.5 crore. This includes Rs 15.5 crore for the rights of the film’s Telugu version in the US and Rs 8 crore for out-of-India rights of the Tamil version. Going by the excellent pre-release buzz, the film is expected to open big when it hit the screens.
Spyder, a spy-thriller directed by AR Murugadoss, has been confirmed to hit the screens worldwide on September 27. The makers are currently filming the high-octane action-based climax sequence in Chennai. In the film, Mahesh is said to have performed stunts sans body doubles. The film’s production designer Rupin Suchak had said that Mahesh didn’t hesitate to shoot an action sequence atop a roller-coaster ride. Even stunts doubles were quite apprehensive about this particular sequence.

Harris Jayaraj has composed the tunes and the first single - Boom Boom Bam Bam - was released on Wednesday and was well received.
