Vijay
Deverakonda's
brother
Anand
Deverakonda's
next
film
Middle
Class
Melodies
will
skip
its
theatrical
release.
As
per
a
report
published
in
a
leading
portal,
the
makers
are
opting
for
a
digital
release
due
to
the
Coronavirus
pandemic.
A
source
close
to
the
development
told
Cinema
Express,
"The
film
was
ready
for
release
when
the
lockdown
was
announced.
Keeping
the
current
pandemic
situation
in
mind,
the
makers
have
decided
to
release
the
film
on
over-the-top
(OTT)
platform
and
have
initiated
deliberations
with
a
few
streaming
giants.
In
all
probability,
a
deal
will
be
sealed
in
a
week
or
so."
Well,
makers
of
Middle
Class
Melodies
are
likely
to
make
an
official
announcement
of
the
film's
OTT
release.
Directed
by
Vinod
Anantoju,
the
romantic
family
drama
is
set
against
the
backdrop
of
a
middle-class
family
in
Guntur.
The
film
also
stars
Varsha
Bollamma
in
the
female
lead.
Talking
about
the
Coronavirus
pandemic,
the
crisis
has
affected
the
showbiz
industry
on
a
large
scale.
Due
to
the
lockdown,
filmmakers
can't
release
their
films
in
theatres
and
and
will
bear
huge
loss.
Big
films
like
SS
Rajamouli's
RRR
are
getting
affected
the
most.
After
all,
the
production
cost
of
the
film
is
huge,
but
due
to
its
incomplete
status
and
lockdown,
the
financers
are
losing
money
with
each
passing
day.
