Rishikanth’s Modha Rathiri to Stream on Netflix in Telugu from Sept 18

Streaming on: Netflix Streaming from: September 18, 2026

Rishikanth, known for his work in Tamil cinema, headlines the comedy-drama "Modha Rathiri," which is set for its digital debut on Netflix. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film originally hit theatres on August 21, 2026, sharing its release date with Ravi Teja’s "Irumudi." Now, "Modha Rathiri" is poised to reach a wider audience as it becomes available for streaming in multiple languages, including Telugu.

Directed by Raja Karuppasamy, who makes his feature film debut with this project, "Modha Rathiri" blends comedy and mystery in a uniquely Tamil setting. The cast features Rishikanth and Anishma Anilkumar in lead roles, supported by Bagavathi Perumal, A. Venkatesh, Chetan, Abdool Lee, Shelly Kishore, Sangeetha Balan, and Banupriya. Mythri Movie Makers, a production house with a strong track record in both Telugu and Tamil industries, brings this project to OTT audiences following its modest critical reception in theatres.

While critics offered a lukewarm response, audience feedback has been more favourable, especially as word spread about the film’s engaging mix of humour and suspense. The availability of a Telugu audio track is expected to make "Modha Rathiri" more accessible to viewers across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, expanding its reach beyond its original Tamil-speaking base.

Both "Modha Rathiri" and "Irumudi" are now set to stream on Netflix, giving fans a chance to catch up on Mythri Movie Makers’ recent theatrical offerings from the comfort of home.
