Prime Video To Stream YRF’s Upcoming Movies ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’, ‘Prithviraj’, ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’ And ‘Shamshera’

In a strengthening of a historically strong collaboration with the celebrated studio, Prime Video becomes the exclusive worldwide streaming destination for Yash Raj Films’ next four massive theatrical releases – Bunty Aur Babli 2, Prithviraj, Jayeshbhai Jordaar and Shamshera. The titles will premiere on Prime Video just four weeks after their theatrical launch, in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

As part of this deal, Prime Video will have exclusive global streaming rights to these four most anticipated titles under the Yash Raj Films banner. The content slate includes films across genres—including heist comedy Bunty Aur Babli 2 starring Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari, Ranbir Kapoor, Vaani Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt starrer action adventure Shamshera, historical epic Prithviraj starring Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Manushi Chhillar and Sonu Sood and Ranveer Singh’s social comedy drama Jayeshbhai Jordaar.

Talking about this collaboration, Gaurav Gandhi, country head of Prime Video India says, “At Prime Video, we are intently focused on bringing the biggest and the best entertainment to our customers and this partnership with Yash Raj Films is the perfect demonstration of that commitment.”

“Over the last four years, we have been consistently bringing blockbuster movies to entertain audiences from the comfort of their homes and on a screen of their choice. The global digital premieres, four weeks after theatrical release, will not only delight our Prime Members, but will also help significantly increase the reach and viewing base for these highly anticipated films – in India and around the world. Yash Raj Films is known to deliver some of the finest cinematic experiences to audiences, and we are super thrilled to partner with them for these films,” he adds.

Akshaye Widhani, Senior Vice President at Yash Raj Films tells, “In Prime Video, we have found a partner that not only shares our vision of offering engaging cinematic experiences, but also provides global distribution to the best stories from the Indian entertainment ecosystem. We are excited to ink this exclusive streaming deal with Prime Video, which will enable our upcoming titles to travel beyond geographies and add further value to Prime Video’s stellar content library.”

Since the pandemic hit theatrical business in India in March 2020, OTT platforms have generated good number of viewers. With almost every upcoming Bollywood movie setting up for a four week deal, it has became easy for audience to experience the films on selected mediums. It will be interesting to see what kind of response these biggies recieve on digital platforms as we all know that this is going to be the future of cinema.
