‘Varisu’ Locks Its OTT Partner?

While the Tamil original commenced its worldwide theatrical run today, reports hint at its OTT premiere

The Thalapathy Vijay-Rashmika Mandanna starrer ‘Varisu’ hit the silver screens earlier today and the movie has received reviews ranging from mixed to positive. Though the movie has been dubbed in Telugu as Vaarasudu, the theatrical release of the Telugu version is slated for January 14, 2023. Helmed by Vamshi Paidipally, ‘Varisu’ is touted to be a movie layered with elements of multiple genres and is backed by Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations banner.

Even as the Tamil version commences its theatrical run, reports suggest that the makers of the film have signed a deal with Amazon India for its digital streaming right for an undisclosed amount. Further, the said reports state that ‘Varisu’, the Tamil original, might commence its OTT run from the third week of April 2023 on Amazon's OTT platform Prime Video. However, an official announcement in this regard is still awaited.

At the box office, ‘Varisu’ competes with Ajith Kumar’s ‘Thunivu’ aka Tegimpu, and will lock horns with the Chiranjeevi-starrer Waltair Veerayya and Balakrishna’s Veera Simha Reddy this Friday.
