Apart from MG royalty, according to entertainment portal,  producer of forthcoming film even asked for remuneration of threshold period of eight weeks from date of atrical premiere, for streaming much-awaited flick on digital platform, if it was evident a week or two after its atrical release that public was t coming to cinemas in full force. It may be mentioned here that eight-week cooling period was fixed long back with a view to giving multiplexes a fair window to exploit film before it was me available to public for viewing in comforts of ir homes. In any case, Vashu explained, multiplex chains would gain thing by insisting on eight-week gap between atrical and OTT/satellite release if people were going to be wary of visiting cinemas.
