You guys may have heard, Anna Ben’s upcoming film, ‘Sara’s is releasing on Amazon Prime Video, in the first week of July. What you guys might not have known is that when this movie premieres next month, Anna Ben will be the youngest actor to lead a direct-to-OTT releasing film, at 21 years old. There is a very good chance that she could be the youngest Indian to lead a direct-to-OTT film, but we haven’t finished with our research on that front, just yet. No trailer has come out for ‘Sara’s’, but a song called ‘Mele Vinpadavukal’ has released on Amazon Prime’s official YouTube channel. Check it out at the end of this article.
Anna Ben will also set two other records with ‘Sara’s’ – she will become the Malayalam female actor to lead in a Malayalam direct-to-OTT film and she will also first Malayalam female actor to play the titular role for a direct-to-OTT release, second Malayalam actor overall to do so (behind Fahadh Faasil). Not bad at all.
Anna Ben is a young up-and-coming actor who has made a name for herself in the past few years with the brilliant films, ‘Helen’, ‘Kapela’ and ‘Kumbalangi Nights’. With this Amazon Prime Video release, this young star is setting a precedent that other female actors (and male actors as well) should be keeping a note of. She will soon be following in the footsteps of few other Malayalam actors – Mohanlal, Fahadh Faasil, Urvashi and now, Prithviraj. Not a bad company to follow, indeed.
Anna Ben’s upcoming film ‘Sara’s’ will release on Amazon Prime Video on July 5th 2021.
