Now with present scenario more theatres would follow the same suit as they no movie goers or the general audience making it theatres given the strict COVID guidelines.

Producers are hesitant to release movies on OTT Platform given that the production cost of movies are huge and theatrical releases are considered a way to make them financially profitable venture - Thus making OTT Platform a not ventured venue for Kannada movies.

And which ever Kannada movies have made it to OTT platform have had lukewarm response too. (except #RathnanPrapancha)
This making producers worry even more..

So, considering all this scenario going forward if the COVID situation stabilises, the movie team has to consider releasing movies immediately and not wait for festival or holiday seasons for the release
