Sivakarthikeyan's
Doctor
recently
made
headlines
after
its
producer
Rajesh
Kotapadi
opened
up
about
the
film's
release.
Stating
that
he
is
bearing
all
the
financial
constraints
caused
by
the
COVID-19
pandemic
despite
having
a
completely
ready
film,
he
tweeted
on
May
12,
"You
have
been
asking
us
for
updates
about
#Doctor
everyday.
As
a
Producer,
I'm
bearing
all
the
financial
and
material
constraints
caused
by
COVID-19
with
a
fully
ready
film
in
hand.
I'm
doing
everything
within
my
power
to
get
the
film
the
right
release.
Losing
near
and
dear
ones
to
the
second
wave
on
another
hand."
He
further
added
that
he
did
not
want
to
talk
about
Doctor's
release
considering
the
current
pandemic
situation
where
nothing
is
certain.
Though
Rajesh's
statement
had
disappointed
many,
especially
Sivakarthikeyan
fans,
what
has
now
come
as
a
big
surprise
is
a
buzz
about
the
film's
direct-to-OTT
release.
Yes,
you
read
that
right!
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
makers
of
the
film
are
gearing
up
for
Doctor's
release
on
Disney+
Hotstar.
Though
the
date
is
not
confirmed,
rumours
say
that
the
action
comedy
drama
will
release
in
Tamil,
Telugu,
Malayalam
and
Kannada.
Reportedly,
the
makers
will
soon
let
out
an
official
confirmation
about
the
film's
digital
release.
It
is

noted
that
