Earlier, speculations were rife that SonyLIV had bagged the streaming rights of the movie. However, industry sources have confirmed that the platform doesn't own the movie's streaming rights.

It seems the producers of Kannur Squad didn't finalise its streaming partner before releasing it in cinemas. As per some credible inputs from the people in the know, Disney+Hotstar is said to be the movie's official streaming partner. However, an official confirmation on the same is awaited.

If that's true, then Kannur Squad will become available for streaming by the end of October.
