After its successful theatrical run, Aranmanai 4 is now preparing for its digital debut. Contrary to various speculations, the OTT giant recently confirmed that the film will be available for streaming later this month.
Directed by Sundar C, Aranmanai 4 hit theaters on May 3, 2024. It stars Tamannaah Bhatia, Raashii Khanna, Ramachandra Raju, Santhosh Prathap, and Sundar himself in significant roles. Interestingly, Raashii Khanna returns to the franchise after her appearance in the third installment. Earlier, makers had selected Vijay Sethupathi as the lead, but he could not join the project due to scheduling conflicts.
Sundar C shared insights into Aranmanai 4’s unique storyline, which centers around a spirit known as Baak. According to Assamese folklore, Baak is a malevolent spirit residing near water bodies. It is known for killing fish and drowning humans. The director elaborated on this concept, stating, “It was the belief that existed among the people in the east about a spirit called Baak. People said that conquerors were scared of the Baak and therefore chose not to go beyond a point. It was then that I thought that Aranmanai 4 will revolve around Baak.”

As anticipation builds for the digital release on Disney Plus Hotstar, fans eagerly await the continuation of the Aranmanai saga.
