After Pon Mangal Vandhal, It Is Turn Of Another Female Star Headed Flick To Turn To OTT Release

The movie Pon Magal Vandhal created a lot of buzz for its direct digital release. It stars Jyothika in the lead and is produced by her husband, star, Suriya. Before it could officially lock its release or comes with any such update, we have another female star headed movie that is knocking the digital door.

It is the Keerthy Suresh starrer Penguin. It is the actress’s 24th film directed by debutant Eashvar Karthic. He is the assistant to the supremely talented filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj, who acts as producer.

Penguin is a horror-thriller with a unique revenge plot. The shooting of the movie is complete with post-production work, also reaching an end. Under the current lockdown situation, the makers felt it would be wise to get it out on an OTT platform.

Reports suggest that Amazon Prime Video has picked up the streaming rights of the movie. If everything goes well, Penguin will start streaming from June. An official confirmation regarding the acquisition and release date is awaited, from the concerned parties.

Penguin was planned as Tamil-Telugu bilingual. Apart from it, Keerthy Suresh has Annaatthe in Tamil, Miss India and another untitled sports drama under Nagesh Kukunoor’s direction in Telugu.

Siddartha Toleti: Perennially besotted with movies, I can’t imagine a day going by without watching one. Passion led to film reviews. The evolution has brought me on the digital platform. Alternatively, I love listening to music from the golden era of Hindi cinema, and Maestro Ilaiyaraja.
