The Raja Saab OTT Deal

As we all know, it’s quite normal for films of this caliber to have a pre-release streaming deal, and the story is similar here as well. According to Cinejosh, the Hindi version of The Raja Saab’s post-theatrical streaming rights have been sold to Netflix for 100 crores.

This isn’t a surprising amount, as Kalki 2898 AD’s Hindi version was also purchased by Netflix for 175 crores. You might be wondering why Kalki 2898 AD fetched a premium compared to The Raja Saab, because Kalki 2898 AD was a big-budget mythological epic with a dystopian science-fiction setting. Besides Prabhas, the film also starred top actors from several industries, including Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan, so fetching that amount was only natural.
