Following an average theatrical run, Sharwanand’s much-anticipated motocross drama Biker is set for its digital premiere on Netflix from May 1, 2026. Directed by Abhilash Reddy Kankara, the film features Rajasekhar in a key role alongside Malavika Nair as the female lead, with music composed by Ghibran.
Netflix Release in Multiple Languages
Biker will stream on Netflix starting May 1, 2026, expanding its reach beyond Telugu audiences. The film will be available in Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi, where it has been titled Sharwa. This multi-language strategy aims to tap into a pan-Indian audience, especially given the film’s unique theme and high-octane appeal.
The film had its theatrical release in early April, with paid premieres held on April 2, 2026, followed by the wide release on April 3. Despite the ambitious scale and novel concept, the theatrical performance remained average, making the OTT release crucial for reaching a wider viewership.
India’s First Motocross Racing Film
Positioned as an ambitious venture, Biker is touted as India’s first full-scale motocross racing film. The story revolves around adrenaline-fueled racers navigating high-risk competitions and pushing their limits on the track. Blending action with sports drama, the film attempts to bring a relatively unexplored motorsport into mainstream Indian cinema.
The film’s visually dynamic narrative and fast-paced racing sequences set it apart from conventional sports dramas. With Netflix’s massive subscriber base across India, Sharwanand’s Biker has a strong opportunity to find its audience and build word-of-mouth momentum that eluded it during the theatrical window.
