Naga Chaitanya‘s recent release, “Custody,” is all set to make its way to digital platforms after its theatrical run. The film, which hit screens in Tamil and Telugu on May 12, received a mixed response from the audience despite high expectations. With box office collections totalling only Rs 26.8 Crore, the movie failed to leave a lasting impact. Now, after one month of its theatrical release, “Custody” is gearing up for an OTT release. Here are all the details you need to know about the film’s digital release.
Director Venkat Prabhu expressed his thoughts on the upcoming OTT release, stating, “Custody is a unique blend of drama, action, and thrill, crafted to cater to the tastes of the audience. With Naga Chaitanya in the lead, we have explored a new layer to the character, which he plays to perfection. And Kriti Shetty lights up the screen with her presence and charm. Additionally, working with the legendary composer Maestro Ilaiyaraaja and the immensely talented Yuvan Shankar Raja for the first time is like a dream come true. Custody is extremely special for me.”
