As per reports by India Today, Amazon Prime Video brought the steaming rights for Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa for a whopping Rs 27-30 Crore. The source stated, “The satellite value of a film is higher than the OTT deal. In the case of Pushpa, it is available on OTT not just in one language but in four languages – Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada. Those who haven’t watched it in theatres will now make it a point to catch it on the OTT space.”
