Cuttputli Acquired by Disney+Hotstar For Rs 90 Crores

The marketing team of  the interested parties have been going  amok with  imaginary  zeroes  on  the paycheck for the Bhagnanis’  production  Cuttputtli. A  report claims that  Disney+ Hotstar acquired  the  film which  streams  from  Friday  for Rs 125  crores.

However  informed sources say  the  figure  is much  more conservative.  “No major streaming platform will pay that  kind of money for  an Akshay Kumar starrer  after his three successive  flops Bachchan Pandey, Samrat Prthiviraj and Raksha Bandhan. No. Disney-Hotstar  has  paid a much less amount, closer to Rs 80-90 crores.”

Streaming platforms are growing increasingly wary of acquiring  big-budget big-screen  movies.  Rather than pay unreasonable  mounts of money for the “privilege” of streaming these busted  blockbusters , the  major streaming platforms are now looking at  the possibility of  gauging  the  boxoffice  performance  of  films before acquiring them  for streaming.
