Abhiram, Rana's younger brother, is making his debut as a hero with his first film "Ahimsa." However, there are no takers for the film, which was supposed to be released last year but was delayed due to a lack of distributor interest.
Even OTT providers showed no interest, and not even Rana's good relationship with Netflix could sway them.
Despite co-creating a web series called "Rana Naidu" for the streaming service with his uncle Venkatesh, Netflix refused to purchase Abhiram's film.
As a result, Gemini TV should now purchase the film for both satellite and over-the-top (OTT) release. Kiran, a partner in Gemini TV, is producing the film.
However, Abhiram's film is also facing stiff competition on April 7th, as Ravi Teja's biggie "Ravanasura" and Kiran Abbavaram starrer "Meter" are also scheduled for release on the same day.
