Will these films ever have an OTT release.?

In the recent past we have to wait for months to get a home video of a new Release. But, with OTT boom, any film is streaming online in a month. If the film becomes disaster then it is coming to OTT within 3 weeks itself. In the current trend, some films which were Released months back are not yet Released in OTT space.

Akhil Akkineni 's much hyped Agent which was made with huge budget in Surender Reddy's direction turned out to be a colossal disaster. It was announced to Release in OTT through SonyLiv platform within a month itself. The streaming service even announced Release date. But, backed off due to several reasons. It is being heard that it will Release after re-editing and adding some scenes. But, nothing happened so far.
