Amazon Prime Video Issued a Public Notice Regarding Drishyam 3 OTT Release
Amazon Prime Video has reaffirmed its exclusive partnership with Aashirvad Cinemas regarding the highly anticipated Malayalam film Drishyam 3, which stars the renowned actor Mohanlal. In light of the film’s postponement, the streaming service has taken a firm stance against any unauthorized attempts to sell the film’s digital rights. This comes as a significant warning to the filmmakers, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the existing agreements that grant Amazon sole control over the film’s digital distribution.
In a public notice, Amazon Seller Services Private Limited made it clear that it holds exclusive rights to all digital formats of Drishyam 3, including subscription video on demand (SVOD), transactional video on demand (TVOD), ad-supported video on demand (AVOD), free video on demand (FVOD), and electronic sell-through (EST). The notice serves as a reminder that Aashirvad Cinemas, along with its affiliates and any individuals claiming to have authorization, cannot engage in any transactions that would transfer or license these digital rights to third parties. This exclusivity is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the film’s distribution strategy.
Furthermore, Amazon has stated that any entity or individual attempting to negotiate or deal with the film’s digital rights without proper authorization will do so at their own peril. The company reserves the right to pursue legal action, which may include seeking injunctions and damages against those infringing on its exclusive rights or disrupting its contractual agreements. This strong message underscores Amazon’s commitment to protecting its interests in the film and ensuring that Drishyam 3 is released in accordance with its established distribution plan.
