While a section of media has written that Sun Network bagged the satellite rights of Megastar Chiranjeevi’s epic drama ‘Sye Raa’, truth is that the deal is still open. No TV network has sealed the deal yet. Price is the reason for this deadlock.
Producer Ram Charan is demanding Rs 29 Cr for the South bouquet (Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada) but Sun network and Star group are negotiating for Rs 23 to Rs 24 Cr. Except for the Telugu, other versions won’t fetch much to the group. Hence, the channels are not interested to give such a huge amount. However, Ram Charan says this will be another ‘Baahubali’ that will connect with the audiences of all languages.
