Directed by RS Prasanna, the film initially premiered in cinemas before experimenting with a unique digital strategy. At the time of its release, Aamir had said the movie would not arrive on traditional OTT platforms. Instead, it later became available through a pay-per-view model on YouTube for viewers in India and several international markets.

The OTT release announcement came through SonyLIV’s official Instagram page, where the platform shared the trailer and confirmed the upcoming streaming debut. The move opens the film to a broader audience after its successful theatrical run. Often described as a spiritual successor to the beloved Taare Zameen Par, the sports drama once again explores themes of empathy, personal growth and understanding people who see the world differently.
