Telugu movie Paagal will premiere digitally on Amazon Prime Video on September 3, according to an official announcement from the OTT platform on Wednesday, September 1. Paagal, which had a theatrical release last month in the Telugu states, is a romantic comedy directed by debutant filmmaker Naresh Kuppili.

Paagal is set in Visakhapatnam and centres around a young man named Prem. “Prem is a flamboyant young man, who out of despair following his mother’s demise sets out to seek the love of his life.

The movie is bankrolled by Dil Raju under his production banner Sri Venkateswara Creations in association with Bekkam Venugopal’s Lucky Media.
