Makers of Ramayana rejected OTT’s biggest offer

Ramayana Movie: The first teaser of Nitesh Tiwari’s film ‘Ramayana’ has been released on Hanuman Jayanti. In this, fans are liking Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Ram’ avatar very much. This film, which had a huge budget of around Rs 4000 crores, got a big offer of Rs 700 crores immediately after its release, but the makers of the film rejected it. Let us know what this offer was and why it was refused.

Why did the makers reject the offer of Rs 700 crore?

According to a media report, a big OTT platform had given an offer of Rs 700 crore to the film’s producer Namit Malhotra to release both parts of ‘Ramayana’. However, Namit immediately rejected this huge deal without thinking much. It is being told that he was not satisfied with this offer, that is why he refused to accept it.

What are the expectations of the makers?

The cost of the film is Rs 4000 crore, so the makers are finding the offer of Rs 700 crore quite low. His plan is that the OTT deal should be for at least Rs 1000 crore, so that a major part of the film’s budget comes from here. Producer Namit Malhotra is confident that he will get this huge amount, that is why he did not accept the old deal in a hurry. It is possible that at present they may make a deal only for the first part and the second part will be discussed later. Overall, the makers are taking decisions very thoughtfully, so that the film can get maximum benefit.
