The much-anticipated Kannada sci-fi dystopian action film UI, directed by and starring the multi-talented Upendra, is all set to make its digital debut. After a successful theatrical release on December 20, 2024, during the Christmas weekend, fans have been eagerly awaiting its arrival on OTT platforms.
According to reports, UI is expected to stream on ZEE5 starting March 30, 2025. However, an official confirmation from the makers is still awaited. The film, produced by Lahari Films and Venus Entertainers, features an ensemble cast, including Reeshma Nanaiah, Nidhi Subbaiah, Murali Sharma, and Sadhu Kokila, among others.
