3BHK OTT release: Siddharth's emotional Tamil drama to stream on THIS online platform
3BHK will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video in mid-August 2025, with subtitles in multiple Indian languages. The film will be available in Tamil and Telugu, making it accessible to a wider audience.
Released in cinemas on July 4, the film received praise for its grounded storytelling, intergenerational themes, and heartfelt performances. Produced by Shanthi Talkies, 3BHK chronicles a journey spanning from 2006 to 2027, focusing on Vasudevan and his son Prabhu's pursuit of a modest three-bedroom home — a goal that becomes a symbol of familial resilience, financial sacrifice, and emotional growth.
Siddharth portrays Prabhu, seamlessly capturing the transition from a troubled teen to a responsible adult navigating the pressures of expectations and reality.
Earlier this year, Siddharth was also seen in Test, a sports drama that debuted directly on OTT and featured R Madhavan and Nayanthara.
Meanwhile, in an interview with Hollywood Reporter India, Siddharth shared that he used to experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) when people approached him during the early years of his career.
The 46-year-old actor further shared it took him almost 8 years to become comfortable with the attention that came with his profession.
'We've taken our own journeys to get here. It took me seven to eight years after becoming a star to not have anxiety and PTSD when people would come and speak to me. Nobody in my family's history has ever experienced this. And I didn't enjoy it. I was told, 'You can't be ungrateful.' But I'm not—it's a mental health situation," the actor told the media outlet.

Mayasabha Twitter review: Deva Katta's gripping political drama strikes a chord
Mayasabha: The Rise of the Titans, which premiered on SonyLIV on August 7, is already making waves online. Directed by Deva Katta and Kiran Jay Kumar, the Telugu political thriller has earned praise for its gripping narrative, layered characters and compelling performances. Set in the politically charged landscape of 1990s Andhra Pradesh, the series traces the journey of two powerful leaders: Kakarla Krishnama Naidu and Ms Rami Reddy, as their friendship slowly turns into a fierce political rivalry. Aadhi Pinisetty and Chaitanya Rao lead the cast, with the show delving into themes of power, ambition and betrayal. Though Mayasabha opens with a disclaimer denying any resemblance to real-life figures, viewers have drawn parallels with major Andhra politicians like N T Rama Rao, Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, and N Chandrababu Naidu. Soon after its debut, the series began trending on X, with viewers praising its intense storytelling and bold writing. Filmmaker Pavan Sadineni called Mayasabha 'easily one of the best political dramas,' applauding its unapologetically honest approach. 'Brilliantly crafted! As a fictional story, it works to the core… Kudos to Deva Katta for his impeccable direction & writing. Take a bow!' Another viewer wrote, 'Just finished watching Mayasabha. Missed your writing all these days @devakatta. Backed by fiery performances from Aadhi Pinisetty, Chaitanya Rao & others. Brilliant writing, screenplay — must watch.' Some viewers also described the show as a 'nuanced peek into the political evolution of a state,' calling it a must-watch for Telugu audiences. While a few noted that the narrative dips in pace during the middle episodes, they also highlighted how the performances and high-stakes moments bring it back on track. 'It kicks off with a bang… and gets better towards the end,' one user wrote. 'Just completed Mayasabha. Every character has been given importance. I especially liked the portrayal of CBN and YSR. Both gave life to those characters,' a user reviewed.
