Sapta Sagaradaache Ello Side B OTT Release: Rakshit Shetty-starrer 'Sapta Sagaradaache Ello Side B' has finally hit the theatres after much awaiting and has been receiving response from both the audience and the critics. The movie focuses on Manu and Priya, who come from a middle-class background and fall in love but their relationship changes when Manu lands in jail due to some circumstances. Its first instalment 'Sapta Sagaradaache Ello Side A' also gained a lot of praise from the audience on both the theatres and the OTT platform and is streaming on Prime Video. As per the reports, the makers of this Kannada romantic film have not decided on the streaming partner yet.
'Sapta Sagaradaache Ello Side A' is streaming on Prime Video and it was assumed that 'Side B' will also be released on the same platform. As 'Side A' released on OTT too soon, Rakshit Shetty, who is also the lead actor in the movie, has more control over 'Side B' and will reportedly explore more options before releasing the film on OTT.

According to OTTplay, Rakshit Shetty said, "Partnering with a platform doesn’t only have to be as an outright sale or on streaming minutes basis. You can also have the streamer host it on their store for rental only and give audiences, including non-subscribers, the choice to watch it or not at a nominal cost."
In an interview with OTTplay, director Hemanth M Rao talked about his decision to release the film in two parts. "It just has been part of our plan right from the beginning. In fact, I had started writing the story in two parts but only the screenplay was developed along the way - the screenplay of Side B was written once Rakshit began to gain weight for the part. The two of us have been always on the same page about this but we wanted to take our time and then disclose it to the rest of the world," he said.
Talking about the plot of the film, Hemanth told Cinema Express, "The film, treated with distinctive hues of Blue in Side A and Red in Side B, symbolises calmness and tumult, respectively. It’s a tale of the same characters, yet not entirely so, a nuance exemplified through the music where the lyrics remain consistent, but their treatment and melody undergo divergence."
'Sapta Sagaradaache Ello Side B' also stars Rukmini Vasanth in the lead role.
