Tollywood actor Venkatesh Daggubati made a comeback to the big screens with the Sailesh Kolanu-directed 'Saindhav.' The film released on January 13, the weekend of Sankranti, during which already other huge South films were releasing. While the film captivated his fan base, it did not garner much widespread acclaim upon release, and managed to gross only Rs. 15 crore at the box office in two weeks of its release.

Even though the movie didn't receive a warm welcome in theaters, it is now scheduled to make its OTT debut, most likely on February 9, which is earlier than the initially expected release in mid-March. The film is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video.

However, the official announcement regarding the OTT release is still awaited from the makers.
