The OTT release date and OTT platform for Tamil film ‘Selfie’ is finally here! The hard-hitting film will release on OTT on Aha Tamil, Aha Video’s newly-minted Tamil arm. Selfie will premiere on Aha Tamil on 14th April, just in time for the Tamil New Year, which happens tomorrow.
Interestingly, ‘Selfie‘ releases on OTT barely 14 days after its theatrical release. Selfie had released in theatres on 1st April, 2022. Now, Selfie releases on OTT on 14th April, exactly on the 14th day of its theatrical release. A 2-week theatrical window before its OTT release is perhaps the shortest one for a Tamil film – the RRR effect, maybe? Even John Abraham’s ‘Attack’ suffered at the box office due to RRR’s lingering magic.
‘Selfie’ made audiences sit up and take notice of its bold look at horrifying scams that are muddying the education system in India. The film may not have set the cash registers ringing, but ‘Selfie’ received appreciation from critics and audiences alike for its no-holds-barred plot and the performance of its lead star, GV Prakash.
Selfie stars GV Prakash as an engineering student who lands bang into the midst of an admissions scandal rocking his college. Director Gautham Menon plays a crucial role in Selfie. Varsha Bollamma, Sangili Murugan, Subramaniam Siva, Vidya Pradeep, Vagai Chandrasekhar and Thangadurai make up the rest of the cast. Selfie is directed by debutant director Mathi Maaran.
Selfie arrives on Aha Tamil on 14th April. Have a look at its trailer here –
