Himanshu Malik’s directorial debut ‘Chitrakut’ to release on OTT

Himanshu Malik’s directorial debut film ‘Chitrakut’, which hit the screens last year, is now gearing up for an OTT release.


‘Chitrakut’ stars Auritra Ghosh, Vibhore Mayank, Kiran Srinivas, Shruti Bapna and Naina Trivedi. Arijit Singh has crooned the theme track of the film – ‘Maan le’. ‘Chitrakut’ explores the theme of relationships set amongst urban characters in Mumbai. It narrates the story of five individuals who seek love and companionship, encapsulating fractured feelings of longing and separation. The film will debut on a streaming platform on May 27.


Speaking about the OTT release, Akbar Arabiyan said, “Our focus was on finding an OTT platform that believed in the film and its potential, we are happy that the content acquisition team has shown so much faith in the film and can’t wait for it to reach a wider audience’. Talking about taking the film to the OTT audience director Himanshu Malik stated, “We were looking for a platform who believed in the film and shared our passion to take it to a larger audience and are happy that team JioCinema saw the potential in our labour of love and now taking it to a wider audience.”


‘Chitrakut’ hit headlines in 2022 when Iranian Academy Award Nominee Majid Majidi gave the film a roaring endorsement, complimenting the director for his work via a video message from Tehran.
