'Shyam Singha Roy' to 'Bro Daddy', upcoming Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam releases on OTT

The COVID-19 pandemic led to numerous films being released on Over-The-Top platforms directly. Later, as cinemas re-opened due to the drop in cases, many filmmakers went back to the traditional release of their films. However, with the sudden spike in COVID-19 cases across the country in the past few weeks, many big-budgeted films like RRR, Jersey, Salute, Valimai and others release have been postponed.

Several makers also opted for releasing films on OTT platforms almost immediately after their theatrical run like Thalaivii, Annaatthe, Pushpa: The Rise (Part 1). Take a look at the list of these films releasing on OTT platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar and others.
