Ballerina has finally made it to the big screen in India, beginning June 13, 2025. The film, which is a part of the growing John Wick film franchise, is a prequel to John Wick: Chapter 4. Now, we have got to know where the film will stream after its theatrical run. The action thriller starring Ana de Armas will begin streaming on Lionsgate Play and OTTplay Premium in India.
The exclusive rights to stream the film after its theatrical run in India and a few other regions have been acquired by Lionsgate Play (OTTplay Premium). So to speak, Ballerina fits perfectly into the platform's expanding library of Hollywood blockbusters, continuing its positioning as a hub for high-octane action content and international film. The streaming debut date is unknown, but it is expected to be released within a year.
Ballerina, written and directed by Shay Hatten and starring Ana de Armas, follows ballerina Eve Macarro as she joins the shadowy assassin gang the Ruska Roma, who were introduced in Parabellum. The story delves into her journey to become a formidable assassin, using well-known characters from the John Wick series.

Notable actors, including Norman Reedus, Anjelica Huston, and Ian McShane, are back for another installment, and Keanu Reeves plays John Wick. Other notable cast members include Gabriel Byrne and Catalina Sandino Moreno. As the New York Continental Hotel's concierge Charon, the late Lance Reddick also makes his last appearance.
Reviews for Ballerina were overwhelmingly positive, praising the action sequences and De Armas's portrayal. Although its worldwide box office take of $57 million is small in comparison to other films in the series, it does serve to establish John Wick as a connecting thread between the main plot and any potential spin-offs.
Lionsgate Play's acquisition of Ballerina furthers its goal of providing Indian fans with exclusive Hollywood entertainment in the immediate aftermath of its theatrical release. The OTT release gives fans of the John Wick series a chance to meet a fresh protagonist and visit a different part of the grimy, assassin-filled world of the franchise.
