Had its rights been with Sajid Nadiadwala then Heropanti won't have expired from sony nor Baaghi would have been repeated so often on zee
Bro if rights were with UTV then why was Heropanti, Phantom , Rowdy Rathore sold to Sony , 2 States to Star as when a movie was produced by UTV , It's satellite rights went to Zee like Himmatwala , Joker , Heroine , Barfi Baaghi etc . but there was a fluctuation among these movies. Co incidentally both were also produced by Nadiawala Grandson Entertainment .

Those repetition were because the agreement is over . If rights were with UTV then Heropanti would have moved to Star by now and Baaghi would have also moved to Star .

I have discussed this in detail earlier too, i guess u did not read it or do not remember it now. Anyways will try to explain again one last time

UTV sold satellite rights of movies like Ye Jawaani, Ekk Main Aur Ekk Tu, Gippi, Rowdy Rathore to Sony in 2012 and Heropanti, Phantom to Sony in 2014/15. Even ABCD2 was sold to Sony by UTV as by then Disney has bought UTV.

Zee entered agreement with UTV/disney later on and got all new films produced by UTV/disney. Now all these will also gradually shift to star /disney

Till 2011 Star India had agreement with UTV , all film rights owned by UTV went to star/disney during this period. Later all these films were bought by UTV Movies which was broadcast network subsidiary of UTV. Now all these movies r with Star India channels as Disney has acquired Star/disney .


There r films like Ye Jawaani Hai Diwani, Gippy, Tees Maar Khan etc. which were distributed by UTV when these released but later rights were acquired by the producer or other co producer (incase UTV co produced it) or there would have been a case where producer itself had rights but as he/she did not have a permanent satellite partner at that point hence gave responsibility to UTV for selling satellite rights.

Then there r films like Rowdy Rathore where UTV owned rights earlier and at present too therefore movie resided earlier with former partner sony and now is with star/disney. Same would be case for Ekk Main aur Ekk Tu . Heropanti, Baaghi, Phantom, Tamasha and some other films also fall in this category hence despite star india's ongoing agreement with Sajid Nadiadwala these films these films went to Sony. 2 States film rights has been with Sajid Nadiadwala since beginning hence this film alongwith all his other films came to Star India
 
So Yashwardhan bhai if u still have doubt whether Phantom, Baaghi, Tamasha rights r with UTV or not then google these movie titles and u will see all these r available on Netflix which is streaming partner of UTV owned films. Heropanti is with Sony Pictures Networks India and available thru YouTube Movies and i think this may well be a case like Dilwale (2014) where Sony entered into special agreement with producers to get satellite + digital rights for certain, post expiry Heropanti will b with UTV and shift to Star/Disney.

There is also the movie Kick which is with star/disney most probably with star/disney bcoz of agreement with Sajid Nadiadwala or Salman Khan and hence will shift out soon. Had it been with UTV then it would be available with Netflix and not Hotstar.

So all in all there r following categories in which UTV Fims can b divided

- UTV Own produced films which will b the broadcaster who has/had agreement with UTV at that point of time.

- Those films where UTV is just the distributor in which case rights might or might not b owned by them. Also it is quite difficult to decode as incase of Ye Jawaani Hai Diwani where Netflix has OTT rights but this can well be bcoz of Dharma Production's agreement with them. In 2012 satellite rights of this film might b with UTV or could b with Dharma Productions or could b a joint call to sell rights as at that time . Why i feel rights could b with Dharma Productions at that time is bcoz they r quite flexible in making satellite rights agreement depending on co producer or distributor they have, so in 2012 they sold own produced Agneepath to Zee and Student Of The Year (co produced with Red Chillies) to Sony while when in collaboration with UTV they would have gone ahead with a joint choice. Might also well be that UTV had the rights initially for few yrs then later on same were handed over to Dharma Productions which has recently sold this movie to its current partner viacom18. Initially one won't b able to tell whether Wake Up Sid , Wake Up Sid rights were with Dharma Productions or UTV but later it became clear that UTV had the rights. There r films like Heropanti, Phantom, Tamasha, Baaghi where one could easily tell that UTV sold the satellite rights as had it been Sajid Nadiadwala then all these films would have went to star india and hotstar, Also Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya is same category where UTV sold rights to Sony and had Tips held the rights then same would have gone to zee at that point. Currently too UTV has their rights as all r on Netflix

- Those films which r co produced by UTV as well as distributed by them like Rowdy Rathore, Ekk Main Aur Ekk Tu, I Hate Luv Storys where in all likelihood UTV has the rights
