Kangana Ranaut looks captivating in glimpse from 'Thalaivi'
Unlike other big films this year- which have decided to take the digital route- Kangana Ranaut's film 'Thalaivi' will fist release in theatres and then go to an OTT platform.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter on Monday to confirm the news. The film critic took to social media to put an end to speculations of the online release of the film which is the biopic of the political stalwart J Jayalalithaa.
"IMPORTANT... News that #Thalaivi - #Jayalalithaa biopic - will premiere on #OTT is FALSE... Will release in theatres first... Digital release to follow *after* theatrical release... #Thalaivi stars #KanganaRanaut," tweeted Adarsh.
Several news reports earlier stated that the film had been sold to online video streaming platforms Netflix and Amazon Prime Video and would be premiering directly on digital.
'Thalaivi` is being helmed by AL Vijay and has been written by `Baahubali` and `Manikarnika` writer KV Vijayendra Prasad and `The Dirty Picture` and `Once Upon a Time in Mumbai` writer Rajat Arora.
The movie was initially scheduled to release in theatres on June 26, 2020, but would not be able to see the light of the day owing to the closing of movie halls due to coronavirus outbreak in the country. The new release date has not been announced yet.
