Gatta Kusthi 2, starring Vishnu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi, is set to stream on Netflix after its theatrical run, in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada. Released on July 3, 2026, the sports comedy-drama has already grossed ₹22.34 crore worldwide in four days, outperforming the first film. The sequel flips gender roles, with Keerthi pursuing wrestling while Veera manages home.
Gatta Kusthi 2 is still on its theatrical run, but thereafter it is headed to viewers on OTT. The film hit theatres on July 3, 2026, and it has already crossed ₹22.34 crore in worldwide box office collections in just four days. It is a solid start for the Vishnu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi starrer. The sequel keeps the sports comedy formula intact but flips the gender dynamic this time, and it seems to be working with audiences. Here is everything we know so far about the Gatta Kusthi 2 OTT release, story, cast and more. As far as Gatta Kusthi 2 OTT release date is concerned, no official announcement has been made. The cast also includes Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu and others.
Netflix has picked up Gatta Kusthi 2 streaming rights and will premiere the film in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada once its cinema run ends. That kind of wide language rollout suggests the platform is expecting decent demand beyond just the Tamil market. For now, though, both Netflix and the makers are staying quiet on an exact release date.
The film opened to ₹2.70 crore, then picked up over the weekend with ₹4.95 crore on Saturday and ₹6.20 crore on Sunday. Monday brought the usual weekday dip, down to ₹2.10 crore, but the film has still managed ₹15.95 crore net in India, ₹18.34 crore gross, and another ₹4 crore from overseas. As per Sacnilk's report, that is ₹22.34 crore worldwide in four days, and it has already gone past what the first Gatta Kusthi made in its entire theatrical run, a clear sign the sequel has struck a chord.
Director Chella Ayyavu takes a different approach with the sequel. This time it is Keerthi who wants to become a professional wrestler, while Veera steps back to handle things at home and support her instead of chasing the spotlight himself. It is a fairly deliberate swap, and the film leans into it, using humour and quieter family moments to talk about partnership and shifting gender roles rather than just falling back on wrestling matches for drama. It gives the franchise a slightly different flavour compared to the first film.
Vishnu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi are back as the leads, with Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Karunaas, Munishkanth, Kaali Venkat, Lizzie Antony, Gajaraj, Sreeja Ravi, Karunakaran, Zara Zyanna and Mokksha rounding out the cast. KM Bhaskaran handles the camera work, Barath Vikraman edits, and Sean Roldan is back on music, his score seems tuned to match the film's mix of comedy and sentiment.
