Amazon Prime Video has issued a statement on social media asserting that it holds the exclusive digital rights to the upcoming Malayalam film Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal. The OTT platform also cautioned the public and industry stakeholders against entering into any agreements related to the film’s digital distribution without its authorisation.
In the notice, Amazon stated that it holds the rights under its agreement with the film’s production house, Aashirvad Cinemas.
“Notice is hereby given that Amazon Seller Services Private Limited (Amazon), pursuant to the valid exercise of its rights under subsisting agreements between Aashirvad Cinemas and Amazon, is the sole and exclusive holder of all digital rights (including but not limited to SVOD, TVOD, AVOD, FVOD and EST) in the film Drishyam 3 (Malayalam) (The Film),” the statement read.
The company further clarified that no other party, including the film’s production house, has the authority to commercially deal with the digital rights.
It added, “The public is hereby cautioned that Amazon holds these rights to the exclusion of all others, and Aashirvad Cinemas (including its assignees, licensees and any other person purportedly authorized by Aashirvad Cinemas) has no authority to sell, license, or in any manner create any third-party interest, lien, or charge over the digital rights for the Film.”
Amazon also warned that any individual or platform engaging in such transactions would do so at their own risk.
“Any person, entity, or digital platform dealing with the Film or its digital rights in contravention of Amazon's exclusivity shall do so at their own risk, cost, and consequences. Amazon reserves the right to initiate appropriate legal proceedings, including seeking injunctive relief and damages, against any party found to be infringing upon its exclusive rights or interfering with its contractual relationship regarding the Film,” the notice further said.
