Suriya's
recent
announcement
of
his
next
Soorarai
Pottru
getting
an
OTT
release
has
surprised
his
fans.
Earlier,
the
actor
had
rubbished
the
rumours
of
the
movie's
release
on
any
video
streaming
platform
and
had
also
reiterated
that
the
film
is
meant
for
the
big
screen.
Well,
looks
like
the
actor
had
to
change
his
mind
given
that
he
is
one
of
the
producers
of
the
highly-anticipated
film
and
the
unending
spike
in
COVID-19
positive
cases
in
the
state.
With
the
big
release
announcement,
many
fans
of
Kollywood
films
are
wondering
if
Vijay's
Master
and
Dhanush's
Jagame
Thandhiram
too
would
release
on
a
video
streaming
platform.
Well,
let
us
tell
you
that
the
directors
of
both
the
films
had
recently
stated
that
their
projects
will
not
release
in
OTT
platforms
whatsoever.
Lokesh
Kanagaraj,
director
of
Vijay's
Master
recently
said
during
a
media
interaction
that
even
the
film's
update
like
teaser
or
trailer
can
only
be
unveiled
once
the
lockdown
ends.
Similarly,
during
an
interaction
with
India
Today,
Jagame
Thandhiram
director
Karthik
Subbaraj
had
said
that
he
cannot
comment
on
the
trailer
or
the
teaser
release
of
the
film,
unless
there
is
a
clarity
about
the
reopening
of
theatres.
He
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
am
sure
every
filmmaker
wants
to
watch
their
film
on
the
big
screen
along
with
the
audience.
The
theatre
experience
will
always
remain
close
to
my
heart." It
is
to
be
noted
that
even
though
the
lockdown
got
lifted,
the
theatres
might
take
more
time
to
have
a
massive
crowd,
considering
the
COVID-19
fear
among
the
people
as
of
now.
Well,
if
the
OTT
platforms
are
ready
to
offer
an
amount
thought
of
by
the
makers,
the
video
streaming
platforms
will
be
a
good
option
for
the
big-budget
films
to
rely
on.
On
a
related
note,
Master
was
earlier
scheduled
for
a
release
on
April
9,
2020
while
Jagame
Thandhiram
was
scheduled
for
a
release
on
August
27,
2020.
Meanwhile,
Soorarai
Pottru
will
be
exclusively
available
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
from
October
30,
2020.
