Sai Korrapati Declines A Handsome OTT Offer For 'Bhala Thandanana'

SS Rajamouli reveals that producer Sai Korrapati had the option to take the film to OTT, but chose against it as he believed in the film

Sree Vishnu's latest offering Bhala Thandanana is slated to release tomorrow. The promotions are on full-swing, and the pre-release event was also conducted. The event saw the presence of ace director SS Rajamouli as the chief guest. SS Rajamouli and producer Sai Korrapati of Varahi Chalana Chitram had earlier worked together on the 2012 blockbuster film Eega. 

Speaking at the event, Rajamouli revealed that there was a really good offer to release the film on OTT but, Korrapati decided against it. Talking about that Rajamouli said “Producer Sai Korrapati is so confident about the film that he refused a huge offer from an OTT giant.”

Rajamouli specially praised director Chaitanya Dantuluri for the way he handled the film. “I saw Chaitanya Dantuluri’s first film Baanam, and watching it gave me the impression that Chaitanya handled the project like a big-budget film. The same can be said about Bhala Thandanana as well. No where does it give us a feeling that it is a small film. He maintained uniformity throughout the film during the suspense, the tension and even during the revelation of the high moments. The writing and direction are very good and that itself is the USP of the film,” said Rajamouli.

Starring Sree Vishnu and Catherine Tresa in the lead, Bhala Thandanana is an action drama in which Catherine Tresa plays the role of an investigative journalist investigating a Hawala racket. The movie is releasing worldwide on May 6.
