Tuck Jagadish is the biggest Telugu direct OTT release of the year. Amazon Prime Video has bagged the direct to digital rights of the Nani starrer and not so long ago, it was reported that the film will be made available for streaming on the platform starting from 10th September. However, for some strange reason, Amazon Prime Video is not announcing the digital premieres date of Tuck Jagadish. The OTT giant is taking forever to drop an official update on the action drama. Well, there are several reasons behind the delay in the announcement of Tuck Jagadish’s OTT premieres date.
One of those reasons is the theatrical release of Love Story. The Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi starrer is releasing in theaters on 10th September. Telangana Film Chamber raised objections over the OTT release plans of Tuck Jagadish, saying it is unethical to release the film on OTT on the same day as Love Story which is releasing in theaters. This might be lingering in the heads of the makers of Tuck Jagadish as they wouldn’t want to rub the distributors and exhibitors on the wrong side by releasing their film on OTT on the same day as Love Story.
Also, a pan-India film, Thalaivi is releasing on the same date. So, there are fair few factors resulting in uncertainty over Tuck Jagasish’s OTT premiers. It appears to be that Amazon Prime has not yet decided on the OTT premieres of Tuck Jagadish. 10th September is the plausible release date for now but nothing is for certain.
As for Nani, he is completely against OTT release, but he had to change his mind, given the plight of the producers who have invested big bucks on the film. So he hesitantly approved the OTT release proposal. “I am the biggest fan of theatres and Tuck Jagadish is a quintessential Telugu film which we would’ve loved watching in a theatre with a full house and it was always meant to be experienced on the big screen for a festival. I am quite torn between the pressures the producers are facing in these uncertain times with big stakes at risk. With the unpredictable conditions here and abroad and the unfortunate restrictions on theatres in Andhra, it has become a conflict in many ways. I have the utmost respect for the producers and I believe any call regarding the film they make, should be theirs. So here I am, at crossroads for the second time! Leaving the decision about Tuck Jagadish to SHINE SCREENS. No matter what, I will do my 100 percent till it reaches all of you in whatever way,” he wrote.

Jason Sanjay’s Next Big Move After Sigma?
Jason Sanjay, the son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actor Vijay, is all set to make his directorial debut with Sigma, starring Sandeep Kishan in the lead. The film is scheduled for release on July 23, and it has already generated considerable curiosity, largely because it marks the first creative venture from Vijay’s son.
Interestingly, Jason Sanjay has maintained a low public profile throughout the film’s promotional campaign. He has rarely made public appearances in recent years and was notably absent from several high-profile events, including Vijay’s political milestones. As a result, his directorial debut has attracted significant attention within industry circles.
Alongside the anticipation surrounding Sigma, there is also growing speculation about Jason Sanjay’s future in the film industry. According to industry buzz, he is expected to eventually make his acting debut. Some insiders believe that beginning his career as a director could help him establish his own identity before stepping in front of the camera, allowing his work to be evaluated independently rather than being viewed solely through the lens of his family background.
With Vijay currently focused on his political career, speculation continues that Jason Sanjay could, in the future, carry forward the family’s cinematic legacy. However, these discussions remain based on industry reports and have not been officially confirmed by Jason Sanjay or his family.
For now, all eyes are on Sigma, which will reveal Jason Sanjay’s filmmaking abilities when it releases on July 23. The film’s reception could play an important role in shaping the next phase of his career, whether he continues as a filmmaker or eventually explores acting.
