Kannada films have recently been doing very well. In addition to this development, Kannada films are getting pre-acquired by digital streaming platforms. So far, very few Kannada films have been part of digital platforms like Amazon Prime and Netflix. Those that are on these platforms, were acquired after their release. However, for the first time, a Kannada film has been acquired before its release.
Ganesh-starrer “Orange”, which has been directed by Prashant Raj, has become the first Kannada film to be acquired by Amazon Prime before its tentative release on December 7.
The romantic entertainer, produced by Naveen under Nimma Cinema’s banner, has Priya Anand of “Raajakumara” fame as the female lead. The film also features Sadhu Kokila, Rangayana Raghu, Avinash, Harish Raj, Padmaja Rao and Sathya Bhama. It has music by S Thaman and cinematography by Santhosh Rai Pathaje.
