“Now the audiences can enjoy this immersive cinematic experience right at home, not just in India but across the globe,” Subramaniam said in a statement.

The film chronicles the story of Raghava (played by Darshan) whose simple life takes a turn when his son Arjun’s behavior gets him in trouble with a gangster.

Darshan said “Roberrt” will see him playing a role of a “gangster, a faithful friend, and a good father.”

“While the plot of the film will keep the audience engaged, my character in the film will be an interesting one to watch,” the 44-year-old actor said in a statement.

Sudhir said the film’s biggest merit was the performance of Darshan and the movie’s “interesting plot.”

“The transition of our protagonist from Raghva to Roberrt is a visual delight to watch. Moreover, having Darshan as the protagonist and with his nationwide fan base, I knew the film would be a crowd puller.
