Nani and Ritu Varma starrer Tuck Jagadish’s OTT release has been the talk of the town right from the day it was announced. The decision to release the film digitally drew a lot of flak and many industry insiders and producers lashed out at Nani and Shine Screens for this decision.
The Telangana State Film Chamber of Commerce (TSFCC) had issued a note on the OTT release. The statement put out requested the producers to wait till October 2021 and if the situation still doesn’t improve then opt for OTT. However, much to everyone’s surprise Nani’s Tuck Jagadish was announced to release on Amazon Prime. Interestingly Venkatesh’s Narappa also went the digital way after this announcement however, Nani and Shine Screens drew maximum criticism.
Speaking to media on this issue Sahu Garapati, Tuck Jagadish’s producer said that they had always intended for a theatrical release.
“The film’s shooting was completed in last December itself and we planned for a release in April, However, Corona spoiled the plans. We again waited for the situation to improve but even now there are talks of a third wave. Adding to this the situation in neighbouring states is still unclear with night curfews and occupancy restrictions still in place,” said the producer. The uncertain future led the team to go for Amazon Prime for release, said Sahu.
He further added that the support he got from the industry on this issue has been great and that Shine Screens will always be thankful. The film has a runtime of 2 hours 20 minutes which will surely be an advantage feels the producer.
Speaking about the film, Sahu said that it is an out-and-out emotion-driven film and will surely impress the family audience. Shiva Nirvana has directed this film which will release on Amazon Prime Video on September 10th.
