That kind of reception is a big deal—especially for an Indian mythological film. It sets the tone for global audiences and raises expectations sky-high for the rest of us.
So, Will It Be on OTT?
According to multiple reports floating around entertainment media, the film might land on OTT around July 25, 2025, well after its theatrical release. The platform hasn’t been confirmed yet, but industry sources suggest one of the big streaming giants has likely picked it up.
Of course, official confirmation is still awaited, but the digital buzz says something big is brewing.
