Jathi Ratnalu, the recent Tollywood blockbuster, is all set to be released on the OTT platform Amazon Prime Video on April 11. The film, which was released in theatres on March 11, was a hit at the box office despite the fear of the coronavirus in the air. Jathi Ratnalu has Naveen Polishetty, Faria Abdullah, Priyadarshi and Rahul Ramakrishna in the lead roles. This movie marks Mahanati director Nag Ashwin’s first venture as a producer, and the film was bankrolled by Swapna Cinemas. As a surprise for fans, Jathi Ratnalu also has Keerthy Suresh and Vijay Devarakonda in cameo roles.
The makers of the film also released some deleted scenes from the movie, which have been widely shared on social media. These scenes come almost as missing pieces in the film, as viewers had noticed sudden jumps in the scenes when the movie first came out. An example of this is the character arc of Priyadarshi’s character, Sekhar. In the film, he expresses a deep fondness for the dish Murgh Mussalam Khana which suggests it has an element of nostalgia, but this is not conveyed during the course of the movie. However, the deleted scenes show that his obsession with the dish started in his childhood, when he heard an elderly Muslim man talk about it.
