Karthi's
highly
anticipated
film
Sulthan
is
all
set
to
release
on
April
2.
Though
the
film
was
initially
slated
to
hit
the
big
screens
in
May
2020,
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
the
subsequent
lockdown,
delayed
the
release.
Interestingly,
the
film
directed
by
Bakkiyaraj
Kannan
marks
National
Crush
Rashmika
Mandanna's
maiden
venture
in
Kollywood.
Well
now,
Sulthan
has
made
it
to
the
headlines
for
a
not
so
good
reason.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
film's
streaming
rights
have
been
acquired
by
Disney+
Hotstar
and
as
per
the
deal
locked
by
the
two
parties,
the
Karthi-starrer
will
release
on
the
streaming
platform
15
days
after
it
hits
the
big
screen.
Reportedly,
the
film
will
start
streaming
on
the
popular
platform
from
April
17.
It
is
to
be
noted
that
as
per
new
agreement
between
theatre
owners,
distributors
and
producers,
films
will
have
to
undergo
a
50-day
theatrical
run
before
handing
it
over
to
any
OTT
platform.
Well,
with
rumours
going
rife
about
Sulthan's
15-day
theatrical
run,
we
will
have
to
wait
for
an
official
announcement
from
the
makers
to
know
the
reality.
Talking
more
about
Sulthan,
the
film
backed
by
SR

SR

by
musical

The
film
has
a
huge
cast
including
Napoleon,
