Raveena Tandon made her OTT debut with Aranyak & Ponniyin Selvan awaited in OTT
The story is set in the fictitious Himachal Pradesh town of Sironah, where two morally upright officers are searching for the person responsible for the alleged rape and murder of a teenage girl who had supposedly traveled to the scenic town to spend the holidays with her foreign mother. Raveena Tandon made her OTT debut with Aranyak, and it was recently rumored that she will make her second OTT appearance in a new web series, which is purportedly an Indian adaptation of the American series “Revenge.” Ruchi Narain will helm this series. Aranyak is streaming on Netflix.
Ponniyin Selvan directed by Mani Ratnam is one of the most awaited films of recent times. The film’s Part 1 will release in theatres on September 30 and it boasts of an enviable ensemble star cast with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Chiyaan Vikram, Trisha Krishnan, and Karthi amongst others. However, even before the film hits theaters, the magnum opus has been sold to Amazon Prime Video for a whopping price. It is a two-part film and as per reports, the digital streaming rights of both Ponniyin Selvan part 1 and part 2 will stream on Amazon Prime Video for a whopping price. While Part 1 releases this month, the Part 2 release date is not yet confirmed and it is said that the makers will announce the same looking at the response to Part 1.
PONNIYIN SELVAN OTT RELEASE DEAL:-
The film’s trailer has been a hit and fans are waiting to witness the grand film and have a visual spectacular experience on the big screen. The makers are confident in their film and it seems so is the trade. That is why, even when films have been unexpectedly crashing at the box office, Ponniyin Selvan has struck an OTT deal already. It is being said that Mani Ratnam fetched a whopping sum of Rs 125 crore for his film’s OTT release. The film will make another HUGE profit with its satellite rights that are sold to Sun TV. Though the price is not disclosed, it is said to be massive as well. Not just this, the grad trailer and audio release event will also be aired on the channel a few days leading up to Ponniyin Selvan’s theatrical release.
Is this the Brahmastra effect?
Brahmastra which was released recently in multiple languages has raked in massive profits at the box office. The visually spectacular film starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt forced the audience to throng theatres. Ponniyin Selvan is also of the same grand scale and watching it on the big screen will be an experience in itself. It has been observed that films that do well in theatres (case in point KGF 2, RRR, Pushpa) also do well upon their OTT release since they have the repeat watch value for the audience. With Brahmastra breaking the dry spell at the box office, the belief in Ponniyin Selvan just gets stronger. Add to it the fact that it is helmed by a director who is respected and loved for his kind of filmmaking and then the amazing star cast. Apart from the leads, the film also stars Prakash Raj, Sobhita Dhulipala, Aishwarya Lakshmi, Prabhu, Jayaram, and Lal and the music is given by none other than the music maestro himself, AR Rahman.
