Alluri OTT release date: When and where to watch Sree Vishnu's cop drama directed by Pradeep Varma

While there was a huge uproar about the reduced window between theatrical releases and OTT premieres many weeks ago, looks like the Telugu industry is back to good old ways. Alluri now joins the list of Telugu films that have streamed on a digital platform only within two weeks of its theatrical release, much like Saakini Daakini and Dongalunnaru Jagratha. The film, which had released in theatres on Sepember 12, starring Sree Vishnu and Kayadu Lohar, was directed by debutant Pradeep Varma.

The cop drama has its titular character named after the Telugu freedom fighter Alluri Sitarama Raju and is given the caption - Nijayitheeki Maaru Peru (sincerity, thy synonym) Alluri is bankrolled by Bekkem Venugopal under Lucky Media, which has backed films like Paagal and Hushaaru in the past. Bekkem Babita is the presenter. Tanikella Bharani, Suman, Madhusudhan Rao, Pramodini, Raja Ravindra, Prudhvi Raj, Ravi Varma, Jaya Vani, Vasu Inturi, Vennela Rama Rao and Srinivas Vadlamani too play key roles.

The story commences with Iqbal, the son of a retired police constable, who is keen to become a cop too but fails to take charge of his future. In need of motivation, Iqbal’s father leads his son to the story of Alluri Sita Rama Raju. The strategy works big time. However, what is so special about Alluri that makes him a much-celebrated, revered cop? To what length did he go to ensure the safety of people?

Telugu OTT platform aha has acquired the digital rights for the same and the film is now available to watch on the streamer. Raj Thota was the cinematographer of the film while Dharmendra Kakarala had edited it. Ram Krishan had choreographed the action sequences for the drama whose music was composed by Harshavardhan Rameshwar. Rambabu Gosala had penned the lyrics. Vital and K Raghunath handled art direction and sound design respectively. Nagarjuna Vadde was the executive producer.
