The Excitement Of Direct To OTT Release Is Gone Unlike Last Year, Says Khiladi Director Ramesh Varma

Hyderabad, June 8, 2021: Last year, many films across languages went for direct-to-digital release due to the covid-19 pandemic. However, the Telugu film industry did refrain from adopting this medium so early and it got a reward for showing courage by going for theatrical release. ## Ravi Teja starrer Krack, which was released on January 9, was the first Indian blockbuster movie during the covid-19 pandemic era. The movie released amid a lot of uncertainty and grossed over Rs. 60 crore worldwide and paved the way for others to follow. Now, actor Ravi Teja is gearing up for the release of his next, Khiladi. ## Khiladi was supposed to release on May 28, however, the second wave of the covid-19 hit makers' plan out of the park and forced them to postpone the release date. Though there are rumors that Khiladi will skip theatrical release and opt for an OTT release, director Ramesh Verma says that is not going to happen and they will wait for the theaters to open. He even went on to say that, unlike last year, there is no excitement for direct to OTT release this year. ## "Khiladi is a 100 percent theater film. Many films released online last year. There is no such excitement this year. The audience tends to watch films in parts on streaming platforms and the entire family does not get to sit together and watch a film peacefully. But there is no such problem with a theater release. We want to give such an experience with Khiladi", the director said according to binged.com. ## Khiladi is an action crime thriller film written and directed by Ramesh Varma and jointly produced by Satyanarayana Koneru and Varma under the banner of A Studios LLP. Apart from Ravi Teja, the movie also stars Arjun Sarja, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Dimple Hayathi, and Unni Mukundan in prominant roles.
