Pelli Kani Prasad

Sapthagiri is one of the top comedians in Telugu cinema. He left his illustrious comic roles to pursue lead hero roles. Since then, he hasn't been seen much and has stayed away from the limelight. His last film as a hero, Pelli Kani Prasad, ended as a disaster at the box office and is now finally set to stream on ETV Win starting June 5, 2025.

Ahead of its OTT release, let’s take a look at how much Pelli Kani Prasad made in theaters. The numbers are in—and they’re shocking. As per the latest update, the film earned only Rs 1.5 crore in its full theatrical run. These dismal figures clearly show the extent of the film's failure at the box office.

Fortunately, the makers have now landed in a safe zone thanks to the OTT deal, as ETV Win paid a decent amount to acquire the digital rights. ETV Win has been consistently picking up films with clean content, which is why titles like Anaganaga #90s, and KA have become solid hits on OTT.

Pelli Kani Prasad backdrop and plot

In Pelli Kani Prasad, Sapthagiri plays a man who returns from abroad to settle down in India for good. However, he gets fooled by the heroine, who forces him into marriage with the intention of moving abroad. The story revolves around how he navigates this tricky situation.

The makers spent a decent amount on the film, but sadly, its old-school narrative and cheap thrills led to its quick downfall in theaters. Recently, a few Telugu films that flopped theatrically have managed to find success on OTT. Whether Pelli Kani Prasad follows that trend remains to be seen. Stay tuned for more updates on this project.
