Netflix has secured the streaming rights for the highly anticipated film The Greatest of All Time (GOAT). Directed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by AGS Entertainment, GOAT stars Vijay in the lead role, alongside an ensemble cast that includes Prabhudheva, Prashanth, Sneha, and Laila. The film, which was released in theaters on September 5, 2024, will begin streaming on Netflix from early next month (October 3), according to news reports.
However, there has not been any confirmation from Netflix. During the film’s promotional tour, director Venkat Prabhu delighted fans by announcing that Netflix would release a special director’s cut of the film, which will feature around 20 minutes of deleted scenes not included in the theatrical version. This extended cut is expected to offer deeper insights into the film’s intricate plot and character development, adding to the excitement surrounding its digital release.
GOAT performed well at the box office, earning approximately Rs 244.50 crore in its first 19 days of release (India net), according to box office tracker Sacnilk. The film’s strong box office showing is a testament to the immense fan following of Thalapathy Vijay , who portrays a retired RAW agent forced back into action after adversaries from his past reemerge, threatening his peaceful retirement with his family.
The film is packed with suspense and thrilling sequences, which Venkat Prabhu has urged audiences not to spoil for others, asking fans to keep the movie�.
