Why was Ramayana's OTT offer rejected?

Reports suggest the film is being made on a staggering budget of ₹4000 crore. Namit Malhotra and his team believe 'Ramayana' deserves much more because it's a landmark film that will impact generations. They are hoping to get a ₹1000 crore deal from an OTT platform, and plan to recover the remaining ₹3000 crore from global theatrical releases and other sources.

Ramayana's satellite deal will be done at leisure

Instead of cashing in immediately, Namit Malhotra has decided to hold on to the satellite, digital, and music rights for now. The producer feels the film's global appeal can fetch a much bigger deal once more content is released. The source added that this film will give global recognition to any platform it's on. A price of ₹1000 crore for both films seems quite fair, considering its potential.
