Following its theatrical release in March, the makers of debut director Jaayavelmurugun's Varunan announced its OTT premiere date on Saturday.

Accordingly, the film will be streaming on the Aha Tamil platform on May 1.

The film received mixed to negative reviews upon its release on March 14. An excerpt from the CE review reads, "The biggest problem with Varunan is not predictability but the weak scenes that lead to predictable outcomes. We are told right at the beginning that Ayyavu and John are likely to lock horns in a territorial battle. However, till the very last scene, both remain cordial to each other, constantly chiding the men on their respective sides who attempt to stir friction between the two agencies. Before the narrative comes to a standstill—as neither of the two main players is inclined to act nastily toward the other—we are introduced to Thillai (Dushyanth Jayaprakash) from Ayyavu’s camp and Dabba (Shankarnag Vijayan), John’s brother-in-law. These two face off for the most trivial reasons imaginable."

Varunan stars Dushyanth Jayaprakash and Gabriella in lead roles. It also stars Radha Ravi, Charanraj, Shankarnag Vijayan, Haripriya, Jiva Ravi, Maheshwari, Arjunna Keerthivasan, Priyadharsan, and Dumkan Maari in pivotal roles.

Varunan, which was under production for a long time, has cinematographer S Srirama Santhosh, editor U Muthayan, music director Bobo Shashi, action choreographer Dinesh Subbarayan, and art director Paddhu as part of its technical team.
