Sun backs out of Vijay film deal - Truth of Pushpa 2 Game Changer Hindi biz

GOAT the Thalapathy Vijay film deal with Sun Network has not been closed says a trade person. The money offered by Sun is not enough for AGS the makers is the channel version or is there a political reason behind it as Vijay’s [political party is a potential threat to DMK. Surprisingly Star Vijay or Zee is not coming near the mark expected by AGS. Netflix has taken the OTT. The first single from GOAT is said to have resulted in hate mail to Yuvan Shankar Raja social media handles. Fact is that the single is a non-starter. A crew member of GOAT informs that the film has two timelines and one is young and present and older timeline is also present. This is the reason why 90’s STAR’s like Prasanth and Prabhu Deva. They play the present and rock the scene. So is MIKE Mohan the baddie belong to old generation ? NO. He too is part of 90’s gang. Who is the baddie ? Wait. A Mumbai based distributor revealed to us the truth behind the biz deals with some major Telugu films theatrical and OTT Hindi rights. The report that Pushpa 2 has closed a Rs 200 crore for Hindi and so also some fancy figures for Game Changer and Devara. Here is the truth. Only three companies are in talks with the Telugu films mentioned. All the companies are willing to do take it on a commission basis and not outright. Secondly no OTT company has closed any deal with these film producers. We are told that Zee5, Karan Johar and AAA Thandani are the three buyers in the field. Thadani has taken Pushpa 2 on a commission basis for North India and the film is expected to do Rs 200 crores biz after taking into account the first part collection. Thadani and Karan have taken Devara and Karan takes Presenter avatar of the film, it means that he is in charge of theatrical release and Thadani has Digital rights. There is no upfront money or outright sale. Game Changer has Zee Group as co- producer and that takes care of TV and OTT streaming rights. Thadani is in talks with Dil Raju to get the distribution rights for North India and that again on a commission rights. Mumbai distributor says that the words used by some media houses like valued at are only for a hype to keep the fans adrenalin pumping. He informs that Devara having Karan Johar as presenter is big asset due to his trade acumen and Dil Raju might plump for Karan. As you are aware Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli were in Dubai, they have come back due to floods.
