Prabhas-Vanga's 'Spirit' locks OTT deal for whopping ₹160cr
What's the story
The upcoming pan-India film Spirit, starring Prabhas and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has reportedly bagged a massive OTT deal of ₹160cr. However, it has not yet been revealed which OTT platform the movie will stream on. This early sale indicates the high anticipation surrounding the upcoming cop drama. The film also stars Prakash Raj, Triptii Dimri, and Vivek Oberoi in pivotal roles.
Pending rights
'The Raja Saab' and 'Fauzi' yet to seal deals
However, not all of Prabhas's projects are receiving similar OTT attention, with Fauzi and The Raja Saab yet to finalize their digital distribution rights. While The Raja Saab is reportedly "almost sold," the deal is stuck due to "small issues." The missing paperwork for the movie could be completed soon, paving the way for a final agreement, per Moneycontrol. On the other hand, Fauzi reportedly remains unsold despite expectations of an early sale.
Market dynamics
OTT platforms cautious due to Prabhas's film oversupply?
The delay in finalizing OTT rights for Fauzi and The Raja Saab could be due to the oversaturation of Prabhas's films. With sequels like Salaar 2 and Kalki 2898 AD Part 2 also lined up for release, OTT platforms might not be keen on acquiring more Prabhas films at this moment, according to GreatAndhra. This could explain why these two movies are still waiting for a digital deal. Prabhas was last seen in a cameo in Kannappa.
