Mimi: Makers to pay the price for Kriti Sanon starrer's leak as Netflix renegotiates deal?

Kriti Sanon starrer Mimi was scheduled to release tomorrow exclusively on Netflix and Jio Cinemas, but it has to be released on Monday after the film was leaked online. Makers have claimed that the pirated version was taken down immediately and the prompt release helped the film to not be affected, but reports suggest otherwise.

According to Bollywood Hungama, the film might now be getting less money from Netflix, thanks to this leak. A 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. It is estimated that close to half a million people had already watched the pirated copy leading to decrease in calculated impressions for Netflix.”

The source also added, “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.” The film has received a great response from the audiences and we wonder loss much brunt did the makers have to bear!
