While the OTT space continues to bring us fresh content each week, we can't really forget some old ones and keep going back to them. One of them in recent years has become the Tom Hanks starrer A Man Called Otto, which has positively grown on the audience since its theatrical release followed by the digital premiere. However, the movie, which first premiered digitally in India on Netflix, later went missing from the streaming giant, leaving fans with no option in the country to watch the film. Turns out it has now found a new digital home where it has been released this week.
After making fans wait for a long time, A Man Called Otto finally has a new streaming home, making it available for the audience in India to stream. The film is now streaming on Sony LIV and is available for the subscribers of the platform to watch with their subscription. The movie dropped on the streamer this week, and fans can rejoice in the same.
Sony LIV has a variety of international titles in its library, and the Tom Hanks starrer A Man Called Otto is an addition to the same. The movie opened to mostly favorable reviews when it was released on the big screen in January last year after a limited release in December 2022, impressing the audience.
A Man Called Otto is based on a book named A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. The story revolves around a man who is a widower and not a very social being. He doesn't even want to be one. But destiny has a friend in store for him who is about to change everything. The official synopsis reads, "A grumpy widower whose only joy comes from criticizing and judging his exasperated neighbors meets his match when a lively young family moves in next door, leading to an unexpected friendship that will turn his world upside-down."
A Man Called Otto has a very interesting cast that includes Tom Hanks, Truman Hanks, Mariana Treviño, Rachel Keller, Rita Wilson, Mack Bayda, Cameron Britton, and an ensemble. The film is produced by Tom with his wife Rita Wilson, Fredrik Wikström Nicastro, and Gary Goetzman. The film is directed by Marc Forster.
