Vettaiyan OTT Release Date Update: The much-anticipated film Vettaiyan, starring South superstar Rajinikanth and megastar Amitabh Bachchan, hit theaters on October 10. Despite a star-studded cast, the film hasn’t met box office expectations. However, exciting news has surfaced regarding its OTT release. Let’s dive into the details of when and where fans can watch Vettaiyan online.
Mixed Box Office Performance
Vettaiyan was released in cinemas during the Navratri festival on October 10. Expectations were sky-high, given the power-packed performances of Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan. However, the film received mixed reactions from the audience, leading to an average performance at the box office. While the movie didn’t make a big splash in theaters, many films have gained immense popularity once released on OTT platforms. Will Vettaiyan follow the same path?
When and Where to Watch Vettaiyan on OTT?
For those who missed the theatrical release, good news is on the way! Amazon Prime Video has secured the streaming rights for Vettaiyan. Reports suggest that there is a four-week OTT window post-theatrical release. This means the film is expected to begin streaming on Amazon Prime Video from November 7, just after Diwali. Fans of Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan can soon enjoy the film from the comfort of their homes.
The OTT Deal: A Lucrative Move
Amazon Prime Video acquired the rights to Vettaiyan even before its theatrical release, reportedly shelling out a hefty sum. While the exact figure remains undisclosed, industry insiders estimate that the deal fetched the makers around ₹90 crore. With a production budget of ₹300 crore, the OTT rights have already recovered 30% of the total budget, but given the film’s box office performance, recovering the full investment might pose a challenge.
