Netflix ready to shell out ₹50cr for Naga-Sobhita wedding rights
Netflix has apparently bagged the digital streaming rights for the much-anticipated wedding of actors Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala. The deal was closed at an astonishing ₹50 crore, an Asianet report stated. This is double the amount the streaming giant paid for Nayanthara's documentary, Beyond the Fairy Tale, which was bought for ₹25 crore. However, neither Netflix nor the Akkineni family has confirmed this news officially yet.
Guest list and engagement details of the couple
Earlier, a source explained to Deccan Chronicle that the couple's popularity is fueling OTT platforms' interest. "He (Chaitanya) is a rising star and also quite popular among Hindi and other non-Telugu OTT viewers. On the other hand, actress Sobhita was seen in Telugu films like Major and also in the Tamil film Ponniyin Selvan." "Her Hindi outreach with web series like Love, Sitara, and the American movie Monkey Man expanded her fan base," added the insider.
