The bold statements from the team of Rao Bahadur have already grabbed eyeballs. Directed by Venkatesh Maha, the psychological drama is headlined by Satya Dev. Superstar Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar are backing the film under GMB Entertainment in association with A+S Movies and Sri Chakraas Entertainments.
According to a recent media report, the film has successfully closed the OTT deal with Netflix for a very good price of Rs. 7 crores. It is reported that the platform has also come up with a performance-based clause, under which an additional amount will be provided to the makers if the film performs well in theatres.
Lately, it has become tough for small films to secure OTT deals, and it is said that Mahesh Babu’s association with Rao Bahadur helped the film secure a solid offer well ahead of the theatrical release.
Deepa Thomas plays the female lead, while Vikas Muppala, Bala Parasar, Anand Bharathi, Pranay Vaka, and Master Kiran will be seen in key roles. The movie releases on July 3.
