Dilruba: Still Missing OTT Before Chennai Love Story. While Kiran Abbavaram’s upcoming film, Chennai Love Story, is set to release in theatres on July 24, 2026, with premiere shows a day earlier, his earlier romantic drama Dilruba remains unavailable on any digital platform more than a year after its theatrical debut.
Directed by Ravi Namburii and written by Baby director Sai Rajesh, Chennai Love Story has reportedly secured its OTT deal ahead of its theatrical release. In contrast, Dilruba, directed by Vishwa Karan and co-starring Rukshar Dhillon, failed to perform as expected at the box office following its release. Many anticipated Dilruba: Still Missing OTT would arrive on platforms like Aha or Amazon Prime Video within a month, but no official update has been provided since.
Industry reports suggest Dilruba may not have secured either a digital streaming or satellite deal, leaving it unavailable for home viewing. Interestingly, K-Ramp, which released after Dilruba, has already premiered on OTT, while Chennai Love Story has locked its digital rights even before its theatrical release. As things stand, Dilruba remains the only film in Kiran Abbavaram’s recent filmography yet to find an OTT platform.
The delay in Dilruba: Still Missing OTT highlights a stark contrast in how the actor’s other projects have managed their digital releases. With Chennai Love Story moving ahead smoothly, Dilruba continues to be a notable exception in his career.
