Thalaivi to premiere on OTT? Here is what Kangana Ranaut has to say

Kangana Ranaut addressed the rumours surrounding her next outing Thalaivi directly releasing on an OTT streaming platform instead of going to the big screen first. The actor said the Jayalalitha biopic is a massive scale film thus can't release it on OTT.

Intro:Body:

Mumbai: With so many films going direct to OTT, bypassing traditional theatrical release, there was a buzz in sections of the media that Kangana Ranaut's much-anticipated film, Thalaivi might also take the same route.

However, the actor told a webloid that Thalaivi is cut out for a big-screen release.

Asked about her opinion on the direct-to-OTT trend, and if she is okay with the idea, Kangana said: "It depends. For example, a film like Thalaivi just can't release on digital because it is such a massive scale film, neither a movie like Manikarnika is a digital space film. But yes, films like Panga, Judgementall Hai Kya also cater to that audience. The way the film is made, it is very digital-friendly. They have recovered huge costs through digital itself. So, it depends."

The webloid also quoted Kangana as saying: "For Thalaivi, it is a bilingual film. As a matter of fact, the film is sold to both Netflix and Amazon in both Hindi and Tamil for around Rs 55 crore."
