Chinna’s (Chithha) blockbuster success led to massive OTT and satellite deals. It is widely known that Siddharth’s latest blockbuster Chithha released as a small film and performed good at Tamil theaters and in Telugu, it received good word of mouth but did not work as in Tamil. The movie now hit a jackpot with non-theatrical, satellite, and OTT rights. If all the rights put together of the film, the film is said to be sold for 15Crs, which recovers the total budget of the film. The OTT streaming partner of Chinna is Disney Hot Star.
The film, made with a sensitive backdrop, features Siddharth in an intense role, with Nimisha Sajayan as his love interest and Sahasra Shree playing his niece. Chittha was released on September 28th in Tamil, and it was released on October 6th in Telugu. Though it did not fare well in Telugu, it was able to get massive OTT and satellite deals.
Chithha features a talented crew, including Balaji Subramanyam (cinematography), Suresh A Prasad (editing), CS Balachandar (art direction), and Vinoth Thanigasalam (sound design), with music by Dhibu Ninan Thomas and background music by Vishal Chandrasekhar.
