Kartik Aaryan’s Dhamaka Sold To Netflix for Rs 135 Crores

 The market  was  buzzing with this vital information  since reports  of Netflix acquiring  Ram Madhvani’s  thriller Dhamaka , based  on  the  South Korean  film  The Terror Live where KartikAaryan stepped into the role originally played by  Ha Jung-woo of an investigative journalist  fighting against all  odds  to nab a terrorist who threatens to blow up the city.

Dhamaka was shot  in  just ten days  and  in no  time at all  Netflix  grabbed the feature film for an exclusive OTT release  sometime in May  or June 2021.

Now it comes  to light that Netflix has paid a whopping 135 crore rupees  to buy the streaming rights for  what  promises  to be a game-changing affair  for  Kartik Aaryan. This is  the  highest  fee paid  for a feature film by an OTT  platform,far exceeding the  90 crores that Amazon paid for David Dhawan’s  Coolie No 1  and  Disney Hotstar 110 crores for Akshay Kumar’s Laxmmi.
