According to sources, Chakra has been picked up by an OTT platform for a whopping sum of Rs 50 crore. “The film will have its premiere in January on the OTT platform and not in theatres. Though there is no confirmation, Disney+Hotsar has most likely bought the film,” said a source close to the film unit. Written and directed by MS Anandan, the film stars Vishal playing a cop, Shraddha Srinath and Regina Cassandra. The plot is a fast-paced thriller based on online scams. The cast includes Srushti Dange, Robo Shankar, and Manobala. The film was initially said to be a sequel to Vishal’s 2018 action thriller Irumbu Thirai which had a successful run at the box office. However, director Anandan clarified that Chakra is a standalone film and not a direct sequel to the 2018 film.
