Nithiin's latest film Robinhood, which had a lukewarm run at the box office, may soon find a new audience on OTT. Directed by Venky Kudumula and starring Sreeleela as the female lead, the film failed to impress most theatre-goers. However, strong buzz on social media suggests that Robinhood will make its digital debut on ZEE5 on May 2, 2025.
Although there's no official confirmation from the makers or the streaming platform, fans are curious to know if the film can redeem itself on OTT. The film features a surprise cameo by Australian cricketer David Warner, adding to its appeal. With a talented cast, including Rajendra Prasad, Vennela Kishore, and Devadutt Nage, Robinhood has the potential to win over viewers in its second innings.
Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and composed by GV Prakash Kumar, the film's music has been well-received. Despite Nithiin's recent string of flops, the film's OTT release could give it a new lease on life. The post-theatrical digital and satellite rights of Robinhood have been secured by Zee Studios for a good price.
The film will make its digital streaming debut on ZEE5 and will also be aired on Zee Telugu and Zee Cinemalu channels. The agreement is for five weeks, and the digital release is likely to happen in the first week of May. With its OTT release, let's see if Robinhood finds a second chance to succeed.
