However, as there were several movies released on that day, our movie could not reach as much as we expected. That’s why we wanted to bring it into OTT. Now, the film is being viewed successfully and its trending, so far our film has watched more than 56 lakhs watch minutes. Our movie is streaming on Aha. We hope that our movie will reach even more people through Aha. Hero Varun Sandesh has been very supportive of the movie Viraji. He is someone without an iota of attitude.
