Netflix to renegotiate deal with Maddock Films after Mimi leaks online
A source told us that Maddock Films & Jio Studios will have to bear the brunt of the leak. The source said Netflix has not taken this leak incident lightly. Hence after they learnt about it they decided to renegotiate the deal. The producers would now be paid slightly less since after it got leaked on pirated websites, Mimi no longer remained an exclusive Netflix release. The source also adds that the stakeholders got into a tiff after the leak was detected. The source continued As soon as they learnt about the leak, tempers and accusations flew thick and fast between Maddock Jio and Netflix, with the latter two accusing each other of the leak. Finally they decided to give it an early release.A trade expert said I couldnot believe it when I was told that Mimi is out 4 days before its official release on torrent. So many films have been released on OTT since lockdown last year. But no film has ever leaked. He also remarked Thank God it was a digital release. Imagine if Mimi was supposed to release in cinemas and the leak had happened 4 days before. Then the producers would have had no choice but to simply wait for Friday to arrive.
