Fans of Kannada cinema have been eagerly waiting for the digital release of Ekka, starring Yuva Rajkumar in the lead role. The film created buzz during its theatrical run, but now all eyes are on its OTT release. Initially, many believed the movie would stream on Amazon Prime Video, like several other Kannada films in recent years. However, reports now confirm that the digital rights have gone to another platform. Let’s take a closer look at Ekka’s OTT release date window, platform details, cast, and plot.
Ekka OTT Release Date Window
Ekka was released in theatres on July 18, 2025. Although early reports suggested an OTT release around Independence Day or Ganesh Chaturthi, the film did not arrive on streaming platforms during those times. According to the latest updates, the film is expected to release on OTT in the first week of September 2025. If it follows the usual timeline of around 50–60 days after its theatrical run, it will be available for streaming shortly, most likely before September 12, 2025.
Ekka OTT Release Platform
Contrary to earlier speculation, Ekka will not be streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Instead, the movie’s digital rights have been acquired by ZEE5 (Z5). This makes Ekka one of the few big Kannada releases, after Kiccha Sudeep’s Max, to premiere on this platform. The official announcement from ZEE5 is expected soon, and given the upcoming festive season, the release could align with the platform’s other scheduled launches.
Ekka Cast And Plot
Ekka is led by Yuva Rajkumar, who plays a pivotal role that marks another milestone in his career. The film also features a strong supporting cast, including:
- Sanjana Anand
- Sampadaa Hulivana
- Shruti Krishna
- Atul Kulkarni
- Poorna Mysore
- Adityaa
- Arun Sagar
- Rahul Dev Shetty
- Harini Sreekanth
- Dr Suri
- Puneet Rudranag
Directed by Rohit Padaki, Ekka is a drama with a mix of action and emotion. While the movie struggled to become a major box office success, its themes and Yuva Rajkumar’s performance caught the attention of fans. The plot revolves around personal battles, societal challenges, and the resilience of its lead character.
With Ekka heading to ZEE5 in early September 2025, fans of Yuva Rajkumar and Kannada cinema will finally be able to watch the film from the comfort of their homes. Despite its lukewarm box office run, the movie has generated plenty of curiosity, especially with its powerful cast and intriguing storyline. If you missed it in theatres, the OTT release is your chance to experience it.
