Strong buzz in trade circles suggests that Netflix has bagged the OTT rights of Ustaad Bhagat Singh for a whopping ₹80 crore. Reports claim that Amazon Prime initially secured the deal, but Netflix stepped in with a higher offer and closed the acquisition at a massive price.
If true, this is one of the biggest digital deals for a Telugu film in recent times. The film, headlined by Pawan Kalyan, has been carrying huge expectations from the start, and this OTT valuation reflects the platform’s confidence in its box office pull and post-theatrical streaming value.
Such a strong pre-release OTT deal also reduces financial pressure on the makers, ensuring solid recovery even before the theatrical run. It clearly shows how star power and mass appeal continue to drive big-money digital deals.
While an official confirmation is still awaited, the ₹80 crore figure itself has created major discussion online. If finalized, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is already winning big in the business game even before release
