2019's two massive Diwali releases were Vijay's Bigil and Karthi's Kaithi. Of which, Karthi’s Kaithi was much talked about for its unique stand with its amazing plot. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, this is the second outing for the director and it is the first time that Karthi and the director are collaborating together.
Produced by S.R. Prakashbabu and S. R. Prabhu under the banner Dream Warrior Pictures, Sam CS has composed the music for the film. Apart from Karthi, the film also features Narain and George Maryan amongst others in the prominent roles.
Having an amazing run at the box office for 5 weeks, the film has been released in a popular online streaming platform now. Despite 5 long weeks, the film had a very good run and continuous audience flow, which made the fans question why the film was released this early in an OTT platform.
Producer SR Prabhu elucidated why this decision was made in a Facebook post. He wrote: "I see a lot of genuine concerns over the 30-day window for films in OTT while running successfully in BO. The theatrical audience will reduce eventually if we continue this trend!? Yes! But, piracy & less terms from 3rd week can be compensated for producers only through this! ". Check out the post below:
