Producer Dil Raju had breached all rules and clauses regarding the digital release of his recent production, Vakeel Saab.
The film starring Pawan Kalyan as a lawyer will stream from tomorrow on Amazon Prime Video.
Never before this, a big-budgeted Telugu movie debuted on OTT apps within 20 days of its theatrical release.
Since audiences have stopped turning at the theaters due to the second wave, Dil Raju has opted for early release on OTT for a premium price, and in doing so, he flouted agreements he made with certain distributors.
Distributor of Gulf region is threatening to file a case against Dil Raju demanding him compensation of Rs 3 Crore.
Dil Raju had signed an agreement while selling off the distribution rights that the film would not stream on OTT platforms before 50 days of theatrical release.
As Dil Raju broke the agreement, the Dubai distributor wants Rs 3 crore compensation for him. If Dil Raju doesn’t respond to this distributor, then the producer may land in legal trouble when he lands in Dubai.
