Anantha out on OTT: Jagapathi Babu and Suhasini play lead roles in this film, which has been directed by the legendary Suresh Krissna. The film has opted for a direct OTT release

Anantha marks the much-awaited comeback of legendary filmmaker Suresh Krissna to the silver screen after a long hiatus. The devotional thriller had been in production for quite some time and faced several hurdles in securing a theatrical release.
Watch Raju Weds Rambai, Anantha, Mirai and other blockbuster hits with OTTplay Premium. Stream the latest releases on JioHotstar, Discovery+, Sonyliv, Fancode and 25+ OTTs on a single app.
With no buyers stepping forward to acquire the theatrical rights, the makers ultimately decided to opt for a direct digital release. As a result, not many were even aware of the film’s arrival.
Jio Hotstar has now bagged the digital rights to Anantha for a nominal price and has started streaming the film online. You can also watch the film here through OTTplay Premium. Made on a modest budget, Anantha features music composed by Thenisai Thendral Deva, whose background score adds emotional depth to this devotional drama.
Drawing inspiration from Sathya Sai Baba, Anantha weaves together five interconnected stories centered on faith, belief, and devotion. While the film is spiritual at its core, it attempts to strike a balance between devotional messaging and commercial storytelling elements.
Jagapathi Babu and Suhasini play pivotal roles, and the film also features seasoned actors Y.G. Mahendra and Thalaivasal Vijay in important supporting parts. The film has been shot across realistic locations, including Kashi, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Puttaparthi, which lends authenticity to its narrative.
It has been a long gap since audiences last saw a Suresh Krissna directorial. His previous film, Katari Veera Surasundarangi, was released back in 2012, making Anantha a significant return for the acclaimed director.
In one of his interviews, Suresh Krissna stated that although Anantha is devotional in nature, it contains proper commercial elements. He also expressed confidence that the performances of Jagapathi Babu and Suhasini would resonate with audiences.
Known for iconic films like Baasha Raghavendra, and Astram, now streaming on OTTplay Premium, Suresh Krissna brings his experience to this spiritually driven project.
It now remains to be seen how Anantha is received by OTT audiences. Those who enjoy devotional dramas with a grounded narrative can stream Anantha on OTTplay Premium. Stay tuned for more updates.
