Rhea Chakraborty’s Controversy Proves Profitable For Chehre; Amitabh Bachchan-Emraan Hashmi Makers Get Hefty Amount To Stream It On OTT Platform – Reports
As per online reports, Rhea Chakraborty infamy has proved to be beneficial for Chehre makers. Reportedly, Disney+Hostar have paid an heft amount to Chehre makers given the past 6 months of news around Rhea
2020 proved to be disastrous for Bollywood and many others. While we witnessed some famous celebrities leaving for their heavenly abode, Sushant Singh Rajput’s death sparked a huge controversy. After SSR allegedly ended his life on June 14, his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty became a prime suspect. Rhea not only became the scapegoat in the entire controversy but was also jailed for her connections with drug dealers and suppliers. Now seems like the entire scenario has benefitted the makers of actress’ upcoming film Chehre makers. But why do we say that?
According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the makers of Chehre, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Rhea Chakraborty and Emraan Hashmi, are now looking for an OTT release given the past 6 months of news around Rhea. As per online reports, Disney+Hotstar has given a hefty amount to the Chehre makers to stream the film on the OTT platform. A source revealed to the portal, “The makers of Chehre were already in talks with various OTT platforms for the release of their film. But Hotstar has won this race by shelling out a premium to acquire Chehre!”
A source close to the development revealed to Bollywood Hungama, “See Chehre has well-known names in its cast like Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi. But apart from them the film also features Rhea Chakraborty. Now given the scenario over the past couple of months anything remotely related to Rhea has been making headlines. Though it is rather brutal to say that monetary advantage is being taken of unsavoury truths, it is the harsh reality of business. Essentially, the OTT platform could be looking at the fact that since Chehre also stars Rhea Chakraborty, audiences from across the spectrum will be drawn to watch the film for different motives.”
After Sushant Singh Rajput’s Dil Bechara, Rhea is all set for the release of her upcoming film Chehre with Big B and Emraan. (ALSO READ: Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case: Rhea Chakraborty’s Brother Showik Chakraborty Files Fresh Bail Plea In Special NDPS Court – REPORTS)
