Who will take Nag’s Wild Dog?

The makers are finding it tough to release the film in theatres.

The pandemic is not over yet, and the signal of the second wave of Covid-19 is bringing shivers for many industries, especially the film industry.

Although the government has set loose a few restrictions for theatres, the constraint of 50% occupancy has brought distress among the producers.Reportedly they could not be able to retrieve even power bills for theatres with 50% occupancy release, considering the piracy issue and Covid-19 scare.

Hence, several films are in the pipeline waiting for the theatres to open with 100% occupancy.A few film producers are making use of OTTs to cover financial interests.

Accordingly, the filmmakers of Akkineni Nagarjuna starrer Wild Dog have decided to go for a simultaneous release on OTT as well as in theatres with 50% occupancy.In this way, the makers thought they would cover-up profits of 100% theatre release.

However, considering the previous failures of Nagarjuna and less buzz on Wild Dog, no OTT is ready to pay a hefty amount to the producers.If the reports are correct, Netflix is offering a reasonable price for the film, but the producers are wigwagging for more price.
