Rare Scenario: This Week Theaters, Next Week OTT

Kiran Abbavaram’s latest action thriller, KA, hit theaters on October 31. The film has been receiving a positive response from the audience and has emerged as a major success for Kiran Abbavaram after a string of flops.

The OTT rights for KA have been secured by ETV WIN for a reported price of 10 crores, which is significant for a film of this budget and scale.

ETV WIN’s official Twitter/X handle confirmed through a post that KA will be available for streaming from November 28.

This means the film adopted a four-week window between its theatrical and OTT release.

Interestingly, KA’s Malayalam version was released yesterday, and the reports have been positive. Dulquer Salmaan’s production house acquired the rights for KA in Malayalam.

Malayalam viewers are finding the film thrilling and enjoyable and are thanking Dulquer for bringing KA to the Malayalam audience.

There are also reports that KA might be released in Hindi in December.
It seems KA will be released only in South Indian languages on OTT, while the Hindi version is being prepared for a theatrical release.

We have to see if the Malayalam audience will continue to patronize KA even after its OTT release next week.
