Telugu cinema's OTT ecosystem is one of the most competitive in India. Aha Video holds exclusive Telugu content rights for a large portion of the domestic catalog — Bheemla Nayak, Sarkaru Vaari Paata, Karthikeya 2, and Dasara are all Aha exclusives. Prime Video competes aggressively for pan-India Telugu acquisitions — the Pushpa franchise and Hanu-Man are both here. Netflix has RRR, Baahubali, Kalki 2898 AD, Devara: Part 1, Salaar: Part 1, and Waltair Veerayya. The summer theatrical releases from May and June will start hitting all three platforms through July.
Aha Video: The Telugu-First Platform
Aha Video remains the most important platform for Telugu cinema subscribers. Bheemla Nayak — Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati in the remake of Ayyappanum Koshiyum — is still Aha's most-discussed acquisition. Karthikeya 2 became Tollywood's biggest 2022 sleeper hit and is an Aha exclusive. Dasara gave Nani his most ambitious film and it lives on Aha. Their original series production has also increased through 2025-2026.
