September 14, 2026: Ravi Teja’s latest outing, ‘Irumudi’, is now ready to make the jump from the big screen to OTT. The Shiva Nirvana directorial, which opened in theatres on August 21, has secured a digital release on Netflix following an impressive theatrical run. The film will premiere on September 18, giving audiences who missed its theatrical release another chance to watch the emotional father-daughter drama from home.
Netflix confirmed the streaming date on Monday, announcing that ‘Irumudi’ will be available in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. The multilingual release is expected to give the Ravi Teja starrer a wider audience across India.
The story revolves around Trinadh, played by Ravi Teja, a troubled alcoholic whose relationship with his young daughter Manikanta becomes the emotional heart of the film.
Determined to change his life for his daughter, Trinadh takes up the Ayyappa Deeksha, a spiritual vow that requires him to stay away from alcohol, violence and other vices. But his resolve is put to the test when circumstances in his village push him into situations where protecting others becomes unavoidable.
The film balances family emotion with conflict, focusing heavily on Trinadh’s struggle to keep his promise while confronting the problems around him. Ravi Teja’s performance has been one of the talking points of the film, particularly in its more emotionally charged sequences.
Baby Nakshatra plays Manikanta, while Priya Bhavani Shankar, Sai Kumar, Sunil, Ramesh Indira and Swasika Vijay are also part of the cast. GV Prakash Kumar has composed the film’s music.
‘Irumudi’ box office: A strong theatrical run
Released against considerable expectations, ‘Irumudi’ has turned into a profitable theatrical venture. The film was reportedly produced on a budget of around ₹40 crore and has gone on to generate substantially higher returns.
According to reported box-office figures, the film had collected approximately ₹209.60 crore in India gross, with its India net standing at around ₹180.40 crore by Day 24. Its overseas gross was reported at approximately ₹22.45 crore, taking the worldwide gross to nearly ₹232.05 crore.
With the theatrical run still generating attention, the Netflix premiere could give the film a second wave of visibility, particularly among viewers outside its original theatrical markets.
Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan congratulate the team
The film’s success also brought a celebratory moment for the ‘Irumudi’ team when Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan met Ravi Teja, Shiva Nirvana and the producers.
Chiranjeevi reportedly congratulated the team and presented bouquets, while photographs of Ram Charan spending time with Ravi Teja and Shiva Nirvana also made their way across social media.
For Ravi Teja, the film’s performance adds another successful chapter to his career, while the upcoming OTT release gives ‘Irumudi’ an opportunity to reach viewers who have been waiting for its digital premiere.
‘Irumudi’ begins streaming on Netflix on September 18 in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.
