Telugu cinema audiences are in for a treat as two major theatrical hits are set to make their digital debut at midnight today. Featuring top stars Megastar Chiranjeevi and Naveen Polishetty, both films are expected to draw strong viewership on leading OTT platforms.
Chiranjeevi’s ‘Man Shankara Varaprasad Garu’ Heads to ZEE5
Megastar Chiranjeevi’s much-talked-about film ‘Man Shankara Varaprasad Garu’ will begin streaming from midnight on ZEE5. After a successful theatrical run during the Sankranti season, the film earned widespread appreciation for its emotional depth and Chiranjeevi’s commanding screen presence.
The makers have ensured a wide digital reach by releasing the film in multiple languages. Viewers can stream the movie in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, Marathi, and Bengali, making it accessible to audiences across India.
Industry observers note that Chiranjeevi’s strong fan base and the film’s positive word-of-mouth are likely to drive significant OTT engagement in the coming days.
Naveen Polishetty’s ‘Anaganaga Oka Raju’ Streams on Netflix
Alongside Chiranjeevi’s release, Naveen Polishetty’s youthful entertainer ‘Anaganaga Oka Raju’ is also set to premiere digitally at midnight on Netflix. The film, which released during Sankranti, emerged as a surprise hit at the box office.
Known for his relatable performances and sharp comic timing, Naveen Polishetty once again struck a chord with audiences. The film’s blend of humor, emotion, and engaging storytelling contributed to its strong theatrical performance.
With Netflix’s global reach, the movie is expected to find new audiences beyond its theatrical footprint.
Strong Sankranti Performers Find Second Life on OTT
Both films benefited from the festive Sankranti release window and received positive audience response in theatres. Their transition to OTT platforms marks the next phase of their journey, allowing viewers who missed the theatrical experience to watch them from home.
Trade analysts believe midnight releases often boost first-day streaming numbers, particularly for star-driven films and recent hits.
A Busy Night for OTT Viewers
With two popular Telugu films arriving simultaneously on different platforms, viewers now have a choice between a star-driven emotional drama and a youthful entertainer. The dual release highlights the growing importance of OTT platforms as an extension of theatrical success.
As digital premieres continue to gain momentum, such midnight releases are becoming key moments for both audiences and streaming services alike.
