After 6 Long Years, Brahmaji’s Hangman Skips Theatres And Arrives Directly On OTT

One of Tollywood’s most respected character actors, Brahmaji , is set to return to the screen with his long-delayed mystery thriller Hangman , which has finally secured a release after being in development since 2020. The film, directed by Vihaan , had remained in the pipeline for several years before finding its digital release window.

The makers have confirmed that Hangman will premiere directly on OTT , skipping a theatrical release and instead reaching audiences through Sun NXT from July 3, 2026 . The decision aligns with the growing trend of mid-budget Telugu thrillers opting for digital-first distribution to maximise reach and audience engagement.

The film has been promoted with the intriguing tagline, Justice has a price. Truth has a deadline , hinting at a morally complex investigative drama rooted in crime, punishment, and psychological tension. Industry descriptions suggest the story revolves around an executioner drawn into a disturbing chain of events where truth and guilt collide, pushing the central character into emotional and ethical conflict.

Brahmaji , known for his versatility across comedy, drama, and intense supporting roles, appears in a striking aged transformation, a look that has already generated curiosity among fans. His character is said to carry significant emotional weight, marking one of his more serious and performance-driven roles in recent years.

Before its OTT debut, Hangman received critical attention at the 2nd Eikhoigi Imphal International Film Festival , where it was screened in the international competition section and noted for its dark tone and narrative style.

With its combination of psychological tension, investigative drama, and character-driven storytelling, Hangman is positioned as a notable addition to Brahmaji’s filmography and another example of Telugu cinema’s expanding presence on digital platforms.
