Amazon Prime Video Acquires A 4 Film Deal With Yash Raj Films For Rs 250 Crores

There were speculations that streaming giant Amazon Prime Video was in talks with prominent production house Yash Raj Films to stream four of its films. The films include Bunty Aur Babli 2, Prithviraj, Shamshera, and Jayeshbhai Jordaar. Now as per the latest news, the OTT platform has finally struck a deal with YRF for Rs. 250 Crores to stream all four films. The platform will be free to stream the films, 4 weeks after its theatrical release date. 

 

Considering the four films being mega budget and big ticket films the amount might seem like a small one but as per some reliable inside sources it is based on a slab bracket which is in turn dependent on the box office collections of the films. With Covid-19 restrictions still very much rampant even today, streaming a film on the OTT platform is a filmmaker’s best bet going forward, for now. Prithviraj stars Akshay Kumar, Shamshera stars Ranbir Kapoor, Jayeshbhai Jordaar has Ranveer Singh while Bunty Aur Babli 2 stars Rani Mukerji and Saif Ali Khan in the lead.
