Sampradayini Suppini Suddapoosani's OTT release stalled: Shivaji starrer to release in theaters now?

Sampradayini Suppini Suddapoosani is actor Shivaji’s latest film, which was initially scheduled to stream on OTT Play Premium and ETV Win from February 12, 2026. The film generated decent buzz as it marked the reunion of Shivaji and Laya after nearly a decade. The makers had originally planned it as a direct-to-OTT release and promoted it as an OTT original.

However, in a surprising turn of events, the team has reportedly decided to take a U-turn and opt for a theatrical release instead. A source close to the unit revealed that the makers believe the film has strong potential to perform well in theatres, and that is why the makers have decided to release the film in theaters.

Directed by Sudheer Sriram, Sampradayini Suppini Suddapoosani is a crime comedy made on a modest budget. Ever since the trailer was released, the film has garnered a fair amount of attention. Several Telugu film personalities who watched the film reportedly suggested to Shivaji, who is also the producer, that the movie deserves a proper theatrical outing.
