Netrikann,
the
highly
anticipated
Nayanthara
starrer
is
gearing
up
for
an
OTT
release.
As
reported
earlier,
Netrikann
has
been
slated
to
premiere
on
Disney
Plus
Hotstar
due
to
the
second
wave
of
pandemic.
According
to
the
latest
updates,
the
release
date
of
the
Nayanthara
starrer
has
been
finalised
now.
The
believable
sources
have
confirmed
that
Netrikann
is
releasing
on
Disney
Plus
Hotstar,
on
July
9,
Friday.
An
official
announcement
on
the
same
is
expected
to
be
made
very
soon.
In
that
case,
the
revenge
thriller
will
emerge
as
the
second
Nayanthara
project
to
get
an
OTT
release,
after
the
acclaimed
fantasy
thriller
movie
Mookuthi
Amman.
Netrikann,
which
is
directed
by
the
young
filmmaker
Milind
Rau,
has
already
earned
blockbuster
status
with
its
pre-release
business.
The
movie,
which
is
bankrolled
by
director
Vignesh
Shivan,
was
made
with
a
total
budget
of
Rs.
5
Crore.
Nayanthara,
the
leading
lady
has
charged
Rs.
7
Crore
as
her
salary,
thus
making
the
total
budget
Rs.
12
Crore.
However,
the
much-awaited
project
has
done
a
total
pre-release
business
of
Rs.
25
Crore,
thus
emerging
as
a
blockbuster
much
before
its
release.
This
total
figure
includes
the
online
streaming
rights,
satellite
rights,
and
audio
rights
of
Netrikann.
Nayanthara's
massive
popularity
among
the
South
Indian
audiences
has
unarguably
helped
the
project
in
getting
excellent
pre-release
business.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
true,
Netrikann
is
an
official
adaptation
of
the
2011-released
Korean
crime
thriller
Blind.
Nayanthara
is
said
to
be
playing
the
role
of
a
visually
impaired
ex-police
cadet
who
is
on
a
mission
to
track
a
dangerous
psycho
killer.
The
Milind
Rau
directorial
features
a
promising
star
cast
including
Ajmal
Ameer,
Saran,
Indhuja,
Manikandan,
and
others
in
pivotal
roles.
RD
Rajashekhar
has
handled
the
cinematography
of
the
project.
Girishh
Gopal
has
composed
the
songs
and
original
score.
Netrikann
is
bankrolled
by
Vignesh
Shivan's
Rowdy
Pictures.
