OTT handover

More context & who is affected
Sumanth's mythological thriller Mahendragiri Varahi has moved to Amazon Prime Video on October 2, 2026, marking its first streaming window across India. The film opened theatres on September 11 and spent roughly three weeks on cinema screens before the OTT handover, a fairly tight theatrical-to-streaming cycle for a regional-language release.
Box-office performance was modest by Sumanth's usual standards. Industry trackers put the India gross at approximately Rs 4.81 crore, while the Economic Times cites a Sacnilk figure in the Rs 5.03 to 5.23 crore range. Theatrical collections closed around September 25, so the streaming launch landed only two days later. The film has now been made available in five Indian language versions: Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi, widening its reach well beyond the core Telugu audience.
Directed by Dheerendra Santhossh Jagarlapudi and produced by Rajashyamala Entertainments and Bridge Films, the story is set around the sacred Varahi temple at Mahendragiri. It traces an investigation into mysteries attached to the temple and its history, giving the picture a distinct mythological-horror lean. Alongside Sumanth and Aishwarya Rajesh, the cast includes Malvika Nair, Meenakshi Goswami, Brahmanandam and Vennela Kishore, so viewers across South India now have a single home on Prime Video to watch it.
