Zebra is Satyadev's new film that hit the screens on November 22, 2024, alongside Mechanic Rocky, which features Vishwak Sen in the lead role. Zebra also stars Dananjaya in a key role and opened to decent word of mouth. 

Satyadev gets emotional over his new release Zebra

Satyadev has been touring theaters in Hyderabad, interacting directly with audiences and receiving solid feedback from them. However, Satyadev has expressed disappointment with the reviews. He remarked that a section of the audience relies on reviews before deciding to watch a film in theaters. 

Speaking at a press interaction, an upset Satyadev said, "I have been touring various theaters, and 80% of the audience seems to like the film a lot. However, this sentiment is not reflected by 80% of the reviewers. They have rated my film poorly, discouraging those who might otherwise have watched it on the big screen."

Zebra OTT platform details

Zebra is a thriller centered on bank fraud. It has been five years since Satyadev delivered a proper hit. During the lockdown, he gained recognition as an OTT star due to his web series and films. The OTT rights of Zebra have been bagged by Aha for a fancy price. 

Addressing the OTT trend, the young actor added, "I hear many reviewers saying that Zebra can be watched when it lands on OTT. Not just Zebra, but most films tend to perform better on OTT despite flopping in theaters. What’s the point of gaining a bigger audience on OTT when the film was made for the big screen? I create films for the theater-going audience. For this to work, low-budget films like ours need the support of reviewers."

In Zebra, Satyadev plays a bank employee, while Priya Bhavani Shankar appears as the female lead. Despite positive audience feedback in some quarters, the film is struggling with low occupancy. It remains to be seen how it performs in the coming days. Stay tuned for more updates.
