Hyderabad: Pan India superstar Prabhas is all set to grace the silver screen once again with the highly anticipated film Kalki 2898 AD. Directed by Nag Ashwin, this science-fiction epic has been generating immense buzz across social media platforms.
The Magnitude Budget of Kalki 2898 AD

The Whopping OTT Deal
The makers of Kalki 2898 AD are leaving no stone unturned. Even before its theatrical release, they are eyeing a massive deal for the film’s OTT rights.
According to reports, the leading OTT platforms Amazon Prime and Netflix have approached the makers with the aim of bagging the digital rights of the film. Reportedly, the makers are demanding a staggering Rs. 200 crore for the film’s OTT rights. It is also being said that the platforms are quoting somewhere between 150 and 170 crores. But makers are demanding at least Rs 200 crores.
Considering the powerful star cast, which includes not only Prabhas but also legendary actors like Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan, this demand might not be entirely unreasonable. Though an official confirmation is yet to be made, this news has gone viral.
