The latest Tamil movie Por Thozhil has emerged as one of the top choices of the movies goers in South India. And the producers seem to have decided to maximise the theatrical success of the movie by delaying its digital premiere.

Earlier, Por Thozhil was expected to become available for streaming on SonyLIV by July 10. But it seems the subscribers will have to wait a little longer to watch the movie from the comforts of their homes. According to sources, Por Thozhil will not release on OTT this month. It's safe to assume that the film will have its digital premiere in the first week of August.
