However, official confirmations from the two are still pending.
Regarding its box office collection, the film earned around $293,000 on its opening day, slightly declining to $257,000 on Day 2. Its first-week collection reached $1.5 million in India’s net collection. In the international market, Rathnam has earned around $1.9 million till date.
In a recent interview, director Hari discussed his techniques and said, “When you remind your audience of such facts, they are surprised and happy. When you tell them things they didn’t know, it might make them surprised but not necessarily happy. I want to make my audience happy. That is why I prefer working with the known.”
As of now, audiences await the official announcements of the film’s OTT debut. It will be intriguing to see when the platforms officially confirm its arrival.
