Akshay
Kumar-starrer
Samrat
Prithviraj,
which
arrived
in
theatres
on
June
3,
2022,
is
all
set
to
be
streamed
on
an
OTT
platform
within
a
week.
Reports
suggest
that
the
film
will
stream
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
from
July
1,
2022
at
12:00
am.
While
the
film
was
a
dud
at
the
box
office,
as
many
moviegoers
skipped
watching
it
in
the
theatres,
it
is
to
be
seen
how
netizens
will
react
to
its
OTT
release.
Made
on
a
budget
of
Rs
300
Crore,
the
film
only
managed
to
earn
around
Rs
100
Crore.
Unfortunately,
the
film
has
become
one
of
the
biggest
flops
of
Akshay's
career.
In
the
last
few
days,
reports
of
Akshay
being
the
reason
behind
the
film's
failure
have
been
circulating
on
social
media.
However,
the
director
Chandraprakash
Dwivedi
clarified
and
took
all
the
blame
on
himself.
He
told
ETimes,
"In
the
last
four
years
we
have
come
closer
to
each
other.
He
is
not
only
an
actor
for
me.
He
is
more
than
an
actor
-
a
friend,
a
well-wisher,
a
guardian.
He
is
younger
to
me
but
behaves
like
a
guardian.
I
never
blamed
him
for
the
failure
of
the
film.
Why
should
I?
If
he
wouldn't
have
been
there,
the
film
would
never
have
been
made."
He
further
said,
"If
anybody
is
responsible
for
the
failure
of
Samrat
Prithviraj,
it
is
me.
I
don't
understand
my
audience."
Apart
from
Akshay,
the
film
also
starred
Manushi
Chhillar,
Sanjay
Dutt
and
Sonu
Sood
in
prominent
roles.
