Overview
- Prime Video issued a public notice on its official social media claiming sole control over all digital distribution of Drishyam 3 and warning against unauthorized deals.
- Amazon says its rights stem from existing agreements with producer Aashirvad Cinemas and states the producer has no authority to sell or license those rights to others.
- The platform’s claim covers SVOD, TVOD, AVOD, FVOD, and EST, which together span subscription streaming, rentals, ad-supported viewing, free streaming, and permanent digital purchase.
- Amazon said it will seek injunctions and damages against any party that cuts conflicting digital deals, raising the risk of a court fight before or after the theatrical window.
- Aashirvad Cinemas had not publicly responded as reports surfaced of the filmmakers exploring other platforms, with the high-profile film set for a May 21 theatrical release and earlier franchise entries landing on different streamers.
