Actor Dheekshith Shetty turned producer for writer-director Srinidhi Bengaluru, with whom he’d made Blink earlier, to present Kannada audiences with a very scary found footage horror film. Called Video, the film released in theatres on September 11 and opened to mixed reviews, with a section of audiences in awe of the technical aspects, as well as the found footage format, while others were not enthused and felt that it did not live up to the genre.
Video, according to the team, had a decent theatrical run and is now OTT bound. Earlier today, Srinidhi took to social media to announce that the film had been picked up by Amazon Prime Video and would drop on the platform on October 9, 2026. The Kannada original film will stream with Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi audio options as well.

The film, meanwhile, follows a YouTube sensation gang, who set out on a journey to do a special video to celebrate their milestone of achieving 1 million followers. For this, they head to Odisha, to explore one of the most haunted buildings in the country. A school, where a teacher had massacred a bunch of students, is their destination and they are warned not to go there during a lunar eclipse. Of course, they decide that such a celestial event would be the ideal time for them to find out if something sinister is at play or not.
The gang is never heard from again and their story is pieced together from the found footage on a camera recovered from the area. The film stars Bharath K Tumkur, Jeevan Shivakumar, Tejesh S Manjunath, Priya J Achar, and Nalme Nachiyar.
