Anand Deverakonda’s Epic: First Semester Eyes OTT Debut on October 9

Streaming from: 2026-10-09

Anand Deverakonda’s latest film, Epic: First Semester, is preparing for its digital premiere after its theatrical release did not meet expectations. The film, which hit cinemas on September 11, 2026, features Anand Deverakonda alongside Vaishnavi Chaitanya and marks the directorial debut of Aditya Hasan. Produced by Sithara Entertainments with Sai Soujanya as co-producer, the movie also includes performances by Sivaji, Vasuki, Srinivas Gavireddy, and Kalyan Shankar. Music for the film is composed by Hesham Abdul Wahab.

Epic: First Semester is now likely to be available for streaming starting October 9, 2026, although an official announcement from the makers is still pending. There is also talk of the film being released in languages beyond Telugu on the digital platform, potentially expanding its reach. The move to OTT comes after the film’s theatrical run fell short of expectations, with hopes that a digital release will help it connect with a broader audience and possibly receive a more favorable response.

Earlier this year, reports highlighted Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya teaming up for this romantic comedy, generating initial buzz among fans. Now, with the OTT release approaching, viewers who missed its theatrical run will have another chance to catch the film online. The upcoming digital launch could provide Epic: First Semester with the opportunity to find new appreciation among streaming audiences.
