Gatta Kusthi 2 has finally arrived in theatres, bringing back the much-loved sports-comedy franchise with a fresh twist. Starring Vishnu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi, the sequel hit the big screen on July 3, 2026. This time, the story takes a different route by reversing traditional gender roles, giving audiences a mix of humour, family drama and wrestling action. As the film continues its theatrical run, many fans are already eager to know when they can stream it online. Streaming details of Gatta Kusthi Earlier this year, Netflix officially confirmed that Gatta Kusthi 2 will premiere on the streaming platform after completing its theatrical run. The OTT giant announced that the film will be available in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada, making it accessible to audiences across multiple languages. However, the makers have not yet announced the official OTT release date. Fans who will miss the film in cinemas will have to wait a little longer before enjoying it from the comfort of their homes. Strong weekend growth at the box office While the digital premiere is still some time away, Gatta Kusthi 2 has started its theatrical journey on a positive note. According to Sacnilk, the sports-comedy witnessed a significant jump in collections on its second day. The film earned Rs 5.46 crore gross (Rs 4.75 crore net) on Day 2 after opening with Rs 3.11 crore gross (Rs 2.70 crore net) on Friday. With this, the film's two-day India gross collection has reached Rs 8.57 crore, while its India net collection stands at Rs 7.45 crore. The movie has also performed well overseas, collecting Rs 1.85 crore gross, taking its worldwide gross collection to Rs 10.42 crore after just two days. According to the trade tracker, audience response also improved over the weekend. Occupancy increased from 26 per cent on Friday to 38 per cent on Saturday across 2,177 tracked shows, indicating stronger footfalls. What's Gatta Kusthi 2 about? Directed by Chella Ayyavu, Gatta Kusthi 2 continues the story with a refreshing change in perspective. Unlike the first film, the sequel places Keerthi at the centre of the action as she focuses on building her wrestling career. Meanwhile, Veera embraces the role of a supportive husband, managing household responsibilities while encouraging his wife's dreams. The film explores changing family dynamics, equality and partnership through a light-hearted sports-comedy narrative filled with emotional and humorous moments. The role reversal forms the heart of the story and gives the sequel a fresh identity while retaining the franchise's trademark blend of comedy and family entertainment. Cast and technical team Apart from lead stars Vishnu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi, the film features a strong supporting cast featuring Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Karunaas, Munishkanth, Kaali Venkat, Lizzie Antony, Gajaraj, Sreeja Ravi, Karunakaran, Zara Zyanna and Mokksha in key roles. Behind the camera, the film is backed by an experienced technical team. KM Bhaskaran handles the cinematography, Barath Vikraman serves as the editor, while Sean Roldan has composed the music for the sports-comedy. Although Netflix has already confirmed that Gatta Kusthi 2 will stream on its platform after its theatrical run, viewers will have to wait for the makers to reveal the official release date.
