MUMBAI: Telugu blockbuster ''Sita Ramam'' will stream globally on Prime Video from September 9, the platform announced Tuesday.

Starring Dulquer Salmaan, Rashmika Mandanna and Mrunal Thakur, the poetic romance drama will also be available in Malayalam and Tamil language dubs on the service.

According to a press release, the Hanu Raghavapudi directorial unravels the mysterious love story of Lieutenant Ram (Salmaan), an orphan soldier whose life changes after receiving a letter from Sita (Thakur).
