0

Santhana Prapthirasthu to Stream on Two OTT Platforms This Weekend

0

The recent Telugu film “Santhana Prapthirasthu”, starring Vikranth and Chandini Chowdary, is all set for its OTT release soon. Interestingly, the film will be available on two OTT platforms simultaneously.

Blending a sensitive subject with a family entertainer touch, the movie is scheduled to start streaming from the 19th of this month on Amazon Prime Video as well as Jio Hotstar.

“Santhana Prapthirasthu” was released in theatres on the 14th of last month and received a decent response from audiences, but it failed to make a strong impact at the box office, and the makers hope that it will gain wider recognition and appreciation after its release on these two OTT platforms.

The film is produced by Madhura Sridhar Reddy and Nirvi Hariprasad Reddy under the banners Madhura Entertainment and Nirvi Arts. It is directed by Sanjeev Reddy. Kalyan Raghav’s dialogues and Ajay Arasada’s music add strength to the film. Vennela Kishore, Tharun Bhascker, Abhinav Gomatam, Muralidhar Goud, and Harshavardhan play key supporting roles in the film.

Allu Arjun Re-enters Franchise Zone

0

With the success of the Pushpa franchise, Allu Arjun has become one of the biggest pan-India stars. Even though Pushpa 2 is yet to be released, the team has already announced plans for a third part, showing the franchise’s growing scale.

Now, Allu Arjun is reportedly stepping into another franchise zone with his upcoming film directed by Atlee. Initially planned as a single-part movie, recent buzz suggests that the project may be split into two parts, and an official announcement is expected soon.

In today’s film industry, both scale and budget play a major role in turning movies into franchises. If the first part performs well, the second part often brings in bigger profits. That’s why some teams are willing to release the first part even at a loss, hoping the sequel will recover the investment.

Buzz: AA22 – Allu Arjun and Atlee’s film to become a two-part film

The Allu Arjun–Atlee film might follow this strategy. With a reported budget of ₹800 crore, recovering costs from just one release is a huge challenge, especially since OTT platforms are no longer offering massive deals. Also, telling a large-scale story in a single film is not easy, which is why splitting it into two parts could make sense.

We’ll have to wait and see how much truth there is to this buzz and what the makers officially confirm.

Vijay Sethupathi and Sai Pallavi are among the finest actors in Indian cinema today and have already earned immense recognition. The latest buzz is that the talented duo is likely to collaborate with legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam.
