The popularity of OTTs is rising day by day with a number of viewers preferring watching movies from the comfort of their homes. Adding to this, the pandemic has left little choice for a number of producers who are choosing streaming platforms over theatres.
Keeping up with this trend 5 medium budget films will be now releasing directly on the streaming platforms. Venkatesh’s two upcoming films Narappa and Drushyam 2 will be released on OTT platforms. Reportedly, these films have been sold for a whopping price. However, there is no official word regarding the same yet. Drushyam 2 is a remake of Mohanlal’s Malayalam crime thriller Drishyam 2 which incidentally also released on Amazon Prime earlier this year.
Apart from this, Venkatesh’s Narappa which is a remake of Dhanush’s Asuran will also be releasing on OTT platform. Adding to Drushyam 2 and Narappa, Suresh Productions has also chosen to go for an OTT release fo Rana Daggubati and Sai Pallavi starrer Virata Parvam.
Meanwhile, the makers of Nithiin’s Maestro and Nikhil’s 18 pages have also decided to let go of a theatrical release this time around. With theatres still not opening everywhere and restrictions on the occupancy, this seems to be a wise decision for the time being.
