Not
too
long
ago,
rumours
were
rife
about
Nayanthara-starrer
Mookuthi
Amman
gearing
up
for
a
direct-to-OTT
release.
Looks
like
the
rumours
are
turning
into
reality,
as
we
hear
that
the
film's
digital
and
satellite
rights
have
been
sold
for
a
whopping
Rs
20
crore.
Recent
grapevine
suggests
that
the
digital
rights
of
the
film
have
been
sold
to
Disney+
Hotstar,
while
the
satellite
rights
have
been
bought
by
the
popular
Tamil
channel
Star
Vijay.
Let
us
tell
you
that
the
film
has
been
made
on
a
budget
of
Rs
13
crore.
However,
there
has
been
no
official
confirmation
regarding
the
same
from
the
makers'
side.
If
rumours
are
to
be
believed,
the
film
will
be
releasing
on
Disney+
Hotstar
and
premiering
on
Star
Vijay
on
Diwali
2020.
If
true,
the
film
will
become
the
first
of
its
kind
to
release
on
both
the
platforms
on
the
same
day
amid
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
On
a
related
note,
recently
director
RJ
Balaji's
cryptic
tweet
had
garnered
the
attention
of
the
netizens.
In
the
tweet,
he
stated
that
he
would
not
be
a
commentator
for
IPL
(Indian
Premier
League)
this
year
and
wrote,
"Thank
you
so
much
for
this
unbelievable
love,
appreciation
and
support
for
Tamil
commentary!!
Blessed!!!
I
will
be
'coming
back
to
cricket'
real
soon!!
And
it's
time
for
Mookuthi
Amman."
The
devotional
film
will
have
Lady
Superstar
Nayanthara
essaying
the
role
of
Goddess
Amman.
Mookuthi
Amman
has
an
ensemble
cast
including
Smruthi
Venkat,
Urvashi,
Ajay
Ghosh,
and
Indhuja
Ravichandran.
Interestingly,
RJ
Balaji
is
also
playing
an
important
role
in
the
movie,
which
is
bankrolled
by
Ishari
K
Ganesh.
