Aadi Saikumar scored a decent success with Shambala, marking a positive phase after a long gap. The mystical thriller, released as a Christmas special, received fair responses from both critics and audiences. Directed by Ugandhar Muni, the film was also released in Hindi on January 9, 2026.
The film has now made its digital debut on Aha. However, it comes with a staggered release, as the movie is currently available only for Aha Gold subscribers. Regular users will be able to stream it from tomorrow. While Shambala had a modest theatrical run, it remains to be seen whether the film will find stronger traction on OTT.
The film features Archana Iyer, Swasika Vijay, Madhunandan, Ravi Varma, and Laxman Meesala in key roles. It is produced by Mahidhar Reddy and Rajasekhar Annabhimoju, with music composed by Sricharan Pakala.
