January 2026 had an interesting mix of original Kannada content on OTT. He started with Ekam, the web series that Rakshit Shetty greenlit many years ago, but then couldn’t find a platform to sell it. The series came out on its own platform in 2024, and was then picked up by Zee5 for release earlier this year. Then came the Christmas releases, Kiccha Sudeep’s Mark and the multi-starrer 45, from JioHotstar and Zee5 respectively. All these titles are also available through OTTplay Premium.
With the biggies out of the way and almost no theatrical releases at the beginning of the year, what can we expect on OTT? Well, there are rumors that Darshan’s The Devil will be on OTT in February, while Duniya Vijay’s Landlord might also make it.
Here are the original Kannada movies coming to OTT in February 2026
Darshan in The Devil
Director Prakash Veer’s The Devil was released in theaters on December 11, 2025, in the absence of protagonist Darshan. The film got off to a good start, considering it was Darshan’s first release since 2023’s Kaatera, but then fizzled out, following lackluster reviews despite the actor’s dual roles. The Devil had no satellite or digital deals in place prior to the theatrical release, but was expected to end shortly afterward. There was no news for a while, but now it is rumored that the makers may have closed a deal and the film is likely to be on OTT by the time the actor’s birthday approaches.

Duniya Vijay at Owner
Jadeshaa K Hampi’s latest directorial venture after Gentleman and Guru Shishyaru is Landlord, starring Duniya Vijay, which hits theaters on January 23, 2026. The film, which also stars Raj B Shetty as the main antagonist, while Rachita Ram, Rithanya Vijay, Shishir Baikady, Umashree, among others, are expected to play pivotal roles, is expected to be on OTT within a month, as is been the trend. Considering that Jadeshaa’s managements have been picked up by Sun NXT and Zee5 in the past and Kaatera, which he co-wrote is also on the latter, one of these platforms will buy the rights.
