Did Amazon pay KatVic 80 crore?

'Forget 80 crores, we haven't even negotiated for the wedding video.'

There are many stories going around the KatVic wedding on December 9.

One report doing the rounds states that the couple will be paid Rs 80 crores (Rs 800 million) by Amazon Prime Video for exclusive video footage rights to the wedding.

A well-placed source at Amazon Prime denies any plans to telecast the wedding footage, let alone pay the staggering amount mentioned.

"Why would we pay 80 crores for something that is already on social media?" a source asks Subhash K Jha.

"No wedding in India would justify that kind of investment by any OTT platform. Those who think up such outrageous amounts must do their maths a little more carefully and come up with at least a plausible figure," the source added.

"Forget 80 crores," says the source, "we haven't even negotiated for the wedding video."
