Venkatesh Daggubati starrer Sankrathiki Vasthunam, which released on 14 January 2025, has been a box office hit. It has grossed over Rs 150 crore in India and Rs 200 crore worldwide. Initially scheduled for an OTT release in February 2025, the digital premiere is now being delayed, according to reports.
Aishwarya Rajesh, Meenakshi Choudhary, Naresh, VTV Ganesh, Srinivas Avasarala, and others play lead roles in Sankrathiki Vasthunam, which is produced by Sirish under the banner Sri Venkateswara Creations. Bheems Ceciroleo also composed the music for the film.
OTT release postponed
Sankrathiki Vasthunam was set to make its digital debut in the second week of February 2025. However, with the film continuing its great run in theatres, producer Dil Raju is reportedly working to delay the OTT release by capitalizing on the ongoing theatrical success.
According to recent reports, ZEE5 has secured the digital rights of the film for Rs 30 crore. And the producers are in talks with the streaming platform to postpone the film’s OTT premiere. The reasoning behind the change is clear: the film is still doing well at the box office, and an early release on OTT could hamper its continued success in cinemas.
