Rana Daggubati's Haathi Mere Saathi to get a hybrid release; to premiere on TV and a streaming platform simultaneously

Earlier, this year, Rana Daggubati’s multilingual film, Kaadan (Tamil) and Aranya (Telugu), had hit the big screens. The movie’s Hindi version titled Haathi Mere Saathi was also slated to release in theatres, but it was postponed due to the second wave of Covid-19 in India.
