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.
As per the
live data, around 140.2K users have showcased their interest in watching The
Raja Saab on BookMyShow. It currently ranks at #3 in BMS interests among
upcoming Indian films of 2025. Maruthi’s directorial has surpassed every Indian
film except two.
Prabhas starrer may soon surpass Jr NTR and Hrithik Roshan’s War 2 in BMS
interests. Ayan Mukerji’s directorial has garnered 159.2K likes so far. With
around a 13% jump, The Raja Saab will steal its #2 spot.
Pawan Kalyan’s swashbuckler action film Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Sword
vs Spirit conquers the top throne. Set to release in theatres on July 24, 2025,

The
upcoming Tamil film will chart Narain Karthikeyan’s remarkable rise from the
streets of Coimbatore to the elite world of international racing
Writer-editor-director Mahesh
Narayanan, best known for helming critically acclaimed Malayalam films such
as Take Off, Malik, C U Soon,
and Ariyippu, is set to direct a new biographical
feature on the life of Narain Karthikeyan, India’s first Formula One driver.
The upcoming Tamil-language project, tentatively titled NK 370,
was announced recently and is currently in development under Blue Marble Films.
The film will chart Narain’s remarkable rise from the streets of Coimbatore to
the elite world of international racing.
The
screenplay is being penned by writer-filmmaker Shalini
Usha Devi, who earlier co-wrote the Suriya-starrer Soorarai
Pottru—a film that earned her the National Award for Best
Screenplay, an honour she shared with director Sudha
Kongara. Reflecting on the prestigious opportunity to spotlight a subject
rarely explored in Indian cinema, Produced by Faraz Ahsan, Vivek
Rangachari, and Pratik Maitra, with Amish Shah and Nilaanjan Reeta Datta
attached as associate producers, NK 370 is being
developed for a global audience with a focus on underdog stories that transcend
national and cultural boundaries.
“People
understand what F1 is now after Drive to Survive (documentary
series on F1 championships) on Netflix, and now the F1 movie as well. So it’s
great to tell the story about India’s first F1 driver. To break all the
barriers to get there coming from India, there is a lot of drama in it,” said
Narain in a chat with Sportstar.
Narain
revealed that the project has been in the works for the last 18 months, and he
will be involved in ensuring the on-track action is filmed realistically, which
will include training the lead actor in the basics of racing.
Mahesh is
currently busy directing his ambitious multistarrer Patriot,
which is reportedly an espionage thriller featuring a stellar ensemble that
includes Mammootty, Mohanlal, Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara,
Darshana Rajendran and Zarin Shihab, among others. Shalini is awaiting the
release of her latest directorial Ennennum, a dystopian
science fiction film featuring Santhy Balanchandran and Anoop Mohandas
