Last Updated: The story blends themes of love, familial bonding and comedy, offering an emotionally rich and entertaining experience. Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen's latest romantic comedy-drama Thalaivan Thalaivii has been winning hearts. The film was released in theatres on July 25, 2025. Now, reports suggest that the film's OTT streaming rights have been acquired by Amazon Prime Video. The film is directed by Pandiraj, known for Etharkkum Thunindhavan. The Times Of India has quoted the latest reports mentioning that a major streaming platform has bought the rights of the film. It will release on Amazon Prime Video. However, neither the makers nor streaming platform has confirmed the news. The story blends themes of love, familial bonding and comedy, offering an emotionally rich and entertaining experience. Audiences have already begun responding positively, with social media flooded with praise for the film's feel-good narrative, relatable characters and warm performances. The film also features comedian Yogi Babu in a special role and the music by Santhosh Narayanan has been widely appreciated for adding emotional depth and charm to the storyline. Although the film was initially announced to have a Telugu version titled Sir Madam, its release status remains unclear. While the Tamil version opened in theatres as planned, tickets for Sir Madam are yet to be listed in Telugu-speaking regions. So far, there has been no official confirmation from the makers about whether the Telugu version will see a delayed theatrical release or skip theatres in favour of a direct OTT premiere. Industry insiders speculate that the team may have chosen to avoid a box-office clash with the big-budget Telugu film Hari Hara Veera Mallu. Vijay Sethupathi has an exciting lineup of films beyond Thalaivan Thalaivii. Up next is Gandhi Talks, an experimental silent comedy-drama written and directed by Kishor Pandurang Belekar. The film co-stars Aditi Rao Hydari, Arvind Swamy, Mahesh Manjrekar and others and has already made history as the first Indian silent film to be screened at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI).

The film pairs Nithya with Dhanush in the lead and features a strong ensemble cast including Arun Vijay, Shalini Pandey, Sathyaraj, Parthiban, P. Samuthirakani and Rajkiran.
