Actor Prabhas’ upcoming film Fauzi has secured a record‑breaking deal with an OTT platform, ensuring a lucrative digital release ahead of its theatrical debut.
Actor Prabhas’s next Telugu venture, Fau zi, has landed a historic deal with a major over‑the‑top (OTT) platform, as reported by Deccan Chronicle. The agreement, signed before the film’s theatrical release, is said to be the highest‑valued digital contract for a Telugu production to date.
The partnership will allow the movie to be streamed on the platform shortly after its cinema run, giving audiences a dual‑release strategy that is becoming increasingly common in the Indian film industry. Industry observers note that the move could set a new benchmark for how regional films negotiate digital rights.
While the exact financial terms have not been disclosed, the deal underscores the growing importance of OTT platforms in the distribution landscape for South Indian cinema. Prabhas, who has a strong fan base across the country, is expected to benefit from the wider reach and potential revenue from the digital launch.
The film’s producers have confirmed that the OTT release will follow the theatrical run, ensuring that both cinema-goers and home viewers can enjoy Fau zi at different stages of its distribution cycle.
