We have been hearing that movie theaters might be reopened in the month of August on the condition that they should run with 25% occupancy. However, noted Telugu producers are ruling out the possibility of new releases as the theatrical business is unpredictable now. This might encourage the producers in the Telugu film industry to give their respective films a direct OTT release.
Incidentally, even Nagarjuna’s upcoming film ‘Wild Dog’ might be going the OTT way. The makers of the film are in talks with Amazon Prime and a deal will be finalized soon.
Only a small portion of the film is left to be shot and it will be wrapped up in a single schedule. The producers are contemplating the right time period to wrap up the final schedule.
Meanwhile, the producers are in favor of giving this film a direct OTT release. They are yet to receive a lucrative offer from Amazon Prime and negotiations are underway. A decision will be taken shortly.
Nagarjuna will be seen as ACP Vijay Varma, an NIA agent in ‘Wild Dog’. Ashishor Solomon is directing this film which is based on true incidents. Niranjan Reddy, and Anvesh Reddy are producing the film.
The makers of Keerthy Suresh’s ‘Miss India’, Anushka’s ‘Nishabdham’, and a few other Telugu films are also in talks with OTT platforms.
