Thammudu OTT release date: When and where to watch Nithiin's Telugu action movie online?
Thammudu OTT release date: After a dull theatrical run, actor Nithiin's latest Telugu action movie, Thammudu, is ready to make its OTT debut. The movie, which hit cinemas on July 4, opened with higher expectations; however, it soon fizzled out to be a commercial disaster. Despite producers receiving some financial relief from the sale of Thammudu's non-theatrical rights, they are still expected to lose about ₹ 30 crore. Dil Raju's movie received an average review by both viewers and critics; however, Nithiin fans are still eagerly awaiting Thammudu's OTT release, so that they can watch the movie from the comfort of their homes. According to a 123telugu report, Thammudu will likely premiere on OTT giant Netflix on 1 August 2025. However, neither the streaming platform nor the makers have officially confirmed Thammudu's OTT release yet. Produced by Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations, Thammudu marks veteran actress Laya's comeback to Telugu movies. In the movie, she plays Nithiin's sister. In addition to them, the movie features Kantara actor Sapthami Gowda, Varsha Bollamma, Saurabh Sachdeva, Swasika, Hari Teja, Srikanth Iyyengar, Temper Vamshi, and Chammak Chandra. The movie is written by Karthik Reddy Pasunur and Venu Sriram, with Venu also serving as the director. The film's music is composed by B. Ajaneesh Loknath. Thammudu follows the story of a brother and sister bound by a deep connection. Their lives change dramatically when the sister encounters a series of hardships, prompting her brother to go to any lengths to protect her. The movie highlights the emotional bond between siblings and shows how they overcome misunderstandings and challenges to preserve their relationship. In yet another box office dud for Nithiin, Thammudu could only earn ₹ 6.85 crore in 12 days of its theatrical release. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the movie opened at a disappointing ₹ 1.9 crore, witnessing only a decline in earnings thereafter. After an opening weekend of earning in crores, Thammudu earned ₹ 60,00,000 on Day 4, which soon fell to ₹ 2,00,000 by Day 8. The movie has minted a total of ₹ 8.19 crore worldwide.

Dhruv Vikram likely to headline Tamil remake of Hindi action film 'Kill'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Young Tamil star Dhruv Vikram is reportedly in talks to step into the lead role for the Tamil adaptation of Kill, the gritty action thriller that made waves in Bollywood last year. The Hindi original, which starred Raghav Juyal, Tanya Maniktala, and Lakshya in the lead and was backed by Karan Johar, turned heads for its unflinching violence and high-octane sequences. Dhruv is being seriously considered for the Tamil version as reported by 123telugu website, though an official announcement is yet to be made. If confirmed, this would mark a significant shift in the actor's career — firmly placing him in the action genre after establishing his emotional depth in earlier roles. Dhruv Vikram tells students in Coimbatore the challenges he faced for Adithya Varma Dhruv's career evolution Ever since his debut in 'Adithya Varma', the Tamil remake of 'Arjun Reddy', Dhruv has shown an interest for intense, emotionally-driven characters. His performance alongside his father, Vikram, in 'Mahaan' was widely appreciated and gave fans a glimpse of his range. If he does come on board for Kill, it's likely to be another bold choice — and one that could firmly establish him as a credible action hero in Tamil cinema. The challenge of remaking 'Kill' The original 'Kill' was not your run-of-the-mill action flick. Translating that energy for a Tamil audience will be no small task. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning... Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Click Here Undo But with the right team — and an actor willing to go the distance — the remake could strike gold. Dhruv, if he signs on, would be stepping into a role that demands not just physical stamina, but emotional depth and restraint. About 'Kill' Directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, 'Kill' is surely one of the best action flicks ever made in India. ETimes review for the movie read, "Director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat goes all out in a bid to do justice to the genre. There's not a single dull moment even when things get repetitive. The director uses violence as a language and glorification of violence is evident, but action thrillers thrive on that so that's not the issue. A gore fest for action lovers, you might even find beauty in the bloodshed if that's your thing. Despite witnessing blood spattering, swinging hammers breaking open people's heads and more, the scene that shocks you the most is a romantic one." For fans of the genre, and of Dhruv's evolving filmography, this could be a project worth keeping an eye on.
