Although Jyotika's Ponmagal Vandhal was the first Kollywood film to get a direct OTT release due to the contagion. However, it would not be wrong to call Dharala Prabhu the first OTT release from Kollywood. Because just three days after its release, the Harish Kalyan starrer was out of the theatres due to lockdown. In a recent media interview with a leading daily, Harish Kalyan talked about OTT releases of movies and said that he believes movies are made for theatres and not for OTT platforms. 

The Dharala Prabhu actor said that although he loves watching movies on OTT platforms, however, the joy and happiness of watching a film with family and friends in the theatres is irreplaceable. Harish Kalyan, in the media interview, expressed his desire to watch Thalapathy Vijay starrer Master in theatre. The Dharala Prabhu actor said he wants to experience the craze and vibe of watching a Thalapathy film in theatres with his ardent fans.
