In a recent turn of events, the theatrical release of actor Vaishnav Tej’s latest film, “Aadikeshava,” directed by Srikanth Reddy, failed to garner a positive response from audiences. Despite hitting the big screens on November 24 with a production budget of Rs 20 crore, the movie struggled to make an impact and faced a lackluster reception at the box office.
The film, featuring Vaishnav Tej along with Joju George, Aparna Das, Sreeleela, and Radhika Sarathkumar, received limited reviews from fans, resulting in a low turnout at theaters and ultimately leading to disappointing box office figures.
Notably, the music for “Aadikeshava” is composed by GV Prakash Kumar. In light of its underwhelming performance in cinemas, the film is now set to make its digital premiere on the international streaming giant, Netflix. Sources suggest that the OTT release could take place in the third week of December, possibly bypassing the traditional four-week wait rule due to its lackluster theatrical run.
“Aadikeshava” is an action romance drama set in a rural town, emphasizing a powerful message about child abuse. As the film gears up for its digital release, it remains to be seen whether the shift to the online platform will bring a new lease of life to its fortunes.
