Kiran Abbavaram and Sri Gouri Priya's romantic drama Chennai Love Story will premiere on SonyLIV on August 21. The film will be available in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, reaching a wider audience beyond its theatrical release. Directed by Ravi Namburi, the film was released in theatres on July 24 and was a decent success. The story follows Steven Shankar, an orphan from Nellore who moves to Chennai to become a filmmaker. He meets Nivedita, whose marriage ends after a three-year relationship. Their lives become intertwined, but an accident and the return of Nivedita's former lover complicate matters. m9.news notes that OTT audiences are often more critical than theatregoers, and the film's long-term reputation may hinge on streaming response.
