Prabhas, a celebrated pan-Indian star, has a massive fanbase. However, his recent films haven’t achieved the anticipated success, with some, like ‘Radhe Shyam’ and ‘Adipurush,’ underperforming. Despite this, anticipation for his next project, ‘The Raja Saab,’ is high. Sources indicate that no OTT platform has met the producers’ financial demands, reportedly a substantial 90 crore rupees. An anonymous insider from a major OTT platform stated that this amount is only viable for a guaranteed hit. Given Prabhas’ recent box office performance outside of ‘Baahubali’ and his limited role in ‘Kalki,’ the asking price is seen as ambitious. The producers now face the decision of either lowering their price or waiting for the theatrical release, which carries the risk of further diminishing their negotiating power if the film doesn’t perform well.
