Kamal Haasan’s Indian 3 may skip theaters for direct OTT release
There are rumors circulating that Kamal Haasan’s much-awaited Indian 3 might bypass theaters and go straight to an OTT platform. This has left fans disheartened, as they expected a big-screen experience. The decision stems from the poor box office performance of Indian 2 and a prior agreement with an OTT platform.
Indian 2, which released on July 12, 2024, didn’t meet expectations, receiving mixed reviews due to its weak storyline and production issues. The film faced multiple challenges, including an on-set accident and disagreements between Kamal Haasan and director Shankar, leading to delays. Despite its star-studded cast, Indian 2 failed commercially, becoming one of the major flops of the year.
Lyca Productions, known for handling large-scale projects, is currently facing setbacks with several delayed films. Industry insiders believe the decision to move Indian 3 to OTT was carefully considered. Although surprising, it reflects the uncertainty surrounding the future of the Indian franchise.
Fans of Kamal Haasan and director Shankar are still hopeful to see them bring their magic to the big screen, but they now await the final word on whether Indian 3 will indeed get a theatrical release or head directly to streaming
