After The Immortal Ashwatthama got shelved, Vicky Kaushal & Sara Ali Khan paired up for yet another project.
Directed by Laxman Utekar (Luka Chuppi & Mimi fame), the rom-com said to have a direct-to-digital premiere.
Vicky-Sara’s next, produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, reportedly revolves around a small-town married couple who wish to have a house of their own, away from the joint family.
If this report is to be believed, the yet-to-be-titled Vicky Kaushal-Sara Ali Khan starrer has been apparently sold to Netflix for a whopping Rs 70 CRORES!
“Theatrical medium isn’t fairing as well as expected for relatively smaller films and hence it’s just a business move to premiere on the OTT platform. Dinesh Vijan has given some of the biggest hits on OTT and hence, it wasn’t difficult for him to get a good deal for the Laxman Utekar directorial,” a source revealed to the portal.
“The revenue from the satellite will be over and above this sum of Rs. 70 crores. Laxman Utekar’s last film, Mimi had done wonders for Netflix and even this one is appreciated by those who have seen it. It’s the power of director, content, and producer credibility that has resulted in the film fetching this humongous deal. Dinesh has respected the OTT space by supplying credible content through the lockdown too.”

Reportedly, the movie is said to be releasing early next year on Netflix.
