I am very happy that the word of mouth is picking up slowly and I hope it spreads to other areas as well. We are a new team that worked very hard on this film, and the result is now there for everyone to see.”

Mahesh also revealed that more screens are likely to be added in the coming days. With student examinations coming to an end, he believes that more youngsters may start watching the film in theatres.

Uttutta Herolu is a hilarious comedy featuring Mahesh Vitta in the lead role. The film’s humour, which is rooted in the local dialect and Rayalaseema backdrop, is receiving decent appreciation from audiences. The movie has also been made by a team that comes from a strong theatre background, and several young actors have delivered impressive performances.

Uttutta Herolu's OTT rights to be locked soon

Meanwhile, Mahesh added that the sudden rise in theatre occupancy has increased interest in the film’s OTT rights. “So far, we have not sold the digital rights because we were waiting for the right price. But now, with the positive word of mouth, a few OTT platforms have approached us,” he said.

Films like Uttutta Herolu are made on modest budgets and depend heavily on word of mouth. While the film has not made a big impact in Telangana yet, it is finding its audience in parts of Andhra Pradesh, especially in the region where it was shot. It remains to be seen when the film will arrive on OTT and how well it performs there. Stay tuned for more updates.
