Most of the theatres in India are ready to close because of the second wave of Covid-19. Big budget movies, which already announced the release date for the coming months, have also pushed the releases as they cannot dare when the country is witnessing a surge in infections.
It has been rumoured for a while now that even a big producer like Suresh Babu is looking to close the theatres in his handover. With this, the digital platforms are picking up again.
It was already announced that Salman Khan’s ‘Radhe‘ is opting for a hybrid release. Now, the OTT companies are stepping up to buy movies that have a bit of a craze even in Tollywood at huge amounts.
Against this backdrop, a leading streaming giant has approached the producers of Balakrishna’s upcoming film ‘Akhanda‘. It is heard that they offered a whopping Rs 65 crore for the ‘Akhanda’ digital release.
However, it seems that the producers denied their request considering the craze for Balayya and Boyapati Srinu’s combination among the fans.
