Puri Jagannadh has wrapped up his latest film Slumdog, starring Vijay Sethupathi. While the shoot has been completed, the makers are yet to announce an official release date, leading to growing curiosity in trade circles.
According to reports, the delay is largely due to the pending OTT deal. In today’s scenario, digital platforms play a crucial role in deciding release timelines, especially for mid-to-big budget films.
Since Slumdog has not finalized its OTT partner yet, the makers are said to be holding back on locking a theatrical date. With OTT rights becoming a key revenue stream, producers are taking extra caution before making release decisions.
Until the deal is sealed, the film’s release is expected to remain uncertain. One needs to see which platform bags the rights to this film.
