Rumors about the OTT release of Sookshmadarshini have circulated, but no official confirmation has been made by the makers.
Reports suggest the OTT rights of Sookshmadarshini, starring Nazriya Nazim and Basil Joseph, have been acquired by a major platform.
Listin Stephen, a prominent Mollywood producer, revealed that OTT deals for films like Sookshmadarshini, Marco, and Rifle Club are typically signed after theatrical release.
Stephen highlighted that many star-driven films now opt for pay-per-view models instead of fixed-price OTT deals.
Producers can no longer predict how much a movie will fetch on OTT, unlike earlier when prices were more consistent.
Successful films such as Premalu, Manjummel Boys, and ARM signed their OTT agreements only after their theatrical run.
Several recent films still await OTT agreements despite their box-office success.
Marco’s producer Sharif Muhammed clarified that no streaming rights for the film have been sold yet.
Fahadh Faasil pointed out that unlike other industries, Malayalam films need to prove their worth in theaters first before securing OTT deals.
