8 Vasantalu on OTT: Netizens praise Ananthika Sanilkumar's performance, call her an actress to watch out for

8 Vasantalu is actress Ananthika Sanilkumar's new film that flopped at the box office. But the film is getting love on OTT, thanks to the young actress's performance.

Ananthika Sanilkumar in 8 Vasantalu

8 Vasantalu is the latest romantic comedy from Telugu cinema that sparked a lot of debate ahead of its release. Produced by the makers of Pushpa, Mythri Movie Makers, 8 Vasantalu was directed by Phanindra Narisetty on a decent budget. Hesham Abdul Wahab composed the music, and three songs from the film became chartbusters.

8 Vasantalu is now streaming on Netflix

The film had good hype ahead of its release, but sadly, 8 Vasantalu failed to click at the box office despite having great music and solid visuals. We at OTTPlay were the first to reveal that Netflix had bagged the OTT rights to 8 Vasantalu for a fancy price. The film is now available for streaming and has had a good start.

All those who watched the film are praising the performance of the female lead, Ananthika Sanilkumar. Several posts are being shared on social media, applauding Ananthika’s impressive performance and the way she performed during emotional scenes related to the breakup, calling her an actress to watch out for.

Ananthika plays a very emotional role in the film and falls in love twice, sadly getting rejected both times. This aspect was portrayed so well by the young actress that it turned heads. Though Ananthika delivered a commendable performance, the supporting cast let the film down. This has been the major complaint voiced by many viewers.

Director Phanindra was also in the headlines for making tall claims about how critics failed to appreciate his debut film Manu, asserting they had no right to judge a film with a twisted mind. These statements didn’t sit well with many, and once 8 Vasantalwas was released, critics slammed the film as a routine romantic drama.

Mythri Movie Makers spent decent money on promotions and the film’s production, but the theatrical revenue was poor. That is why they sold the OTT rights to Netflix for a premium price, ensuring they remained in a safe financial zone.

Ananthika Sanilkumar becomes an overnight sensation

Ananthika Sanilkumar looks beautiful in the film and plays a very independent girl who stays away from love, friendship, and emotions. The story explores what happens when such a girl falls in love, how her self-esteem takes a hit, how she recovers, and how she falls in love again.

Ananthika, who is receiving praise, is very happy with the way she is being received in Telugu cinema. The news is that she has already signed two more Telugu films, which will be announced soon. Stay tuned for more updates on her projects.
