Simba, Tollywood’s latest sci-fi flick, failed to turn out as the expected box office success. The film, starring Jagapathi Babu and Anasuya Bharadwaj in pivotal roles, was directed by Murali Manohar Reddy. The film released on August 9th but failed to please as per expectations at the box office.
But now, the movie is set to entertain the audience in the OTT platforms. Officially, it has been declared that Simba will be made streaming on the popular OTT platform Aha from September 6th onwards. And this news created a fair amount of curiosity for the movie among the OTT audience.
Simba also boasts prominent performances by actors like Kasturi, Divi Vadthya, Srinath, and Kabir Singh in the supporting roles. The movie was produced by Sampath Nandi and Rajender as both jointly produced this sci-fi tale.

The storyline of Simba is based on some futuristic notion and characters that are multi-dimensional, making it really different from other sci-fi offerings in Tollywood. The release on the OTT platform, therefore, gives this film a second chance for a wider reach despite the underwhelming performance in theaters. Several films that did not sizzle at the box office have found a new lease of life through streaming and have been able to connect with audiences who like watching from the comfort of their homes.
It now remains to be seen how well the OTT audience is going to receive Simba. With the interest already evinced, there is hope that the movie might just achieve on digital platforms what it couldn’t in the theatres. The OTT release can bring new light and appreciation of the film’s narrative and its performances. Let’s see whether Simba would impress the OTT audience and score a number in the streaming arena.
