The Biggest Movie Disasters: Unofficial Releases on OTT Platform

"Agent," starring Akhil Akkineni, marketed as a high-octane spy thriller, turned out to be a monumental flop.

Directed by Surender Reddy and produced by Anil Sunkara, "Agent" was intended to rival James Bond films.

[{"selector":"#anim-f880f628-78a3-499a-9482-fedfa82caed9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2d0b2386-8735-4231-be64-3d3b0812fc18","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 140.58315%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5146600e-73f7-46a9-a1d2-b8a3db7806f6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4e815c33-be05-4af5-b49d-6db26d8436ac [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Despite a massive budget of ₹90-100 crores, "Agent" grossed only about ₹10 crores at the box office.

[{"selector":"#anim-a9abde2b-df7c-4ac4-9030-e90479d47a30","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3a927d1a-a9b4-4c59-a5b7-3ecb7d3c3008","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 140.58315%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e590c0aa-ab41-45b6-b5bf-afa47e5323ab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b0eb3c12-551e-4f33-82c0-e322fdff9449 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The failure led to director Surender Reddy stepping away from the limelight, and his next project was shelved.

[{"selector":"#anim-d299564c-bd94-48c8-a4f2-dc09194e0ea1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-08c59f47-af9c-491a-b2b4-6fb0d75b9d5a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 140.58315%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-93deedf5-6cba-4b6c-af98-c9979422d1ab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f5a042e2-b512-4c79-a8ba-ba990487facd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

A legal dispute has prevented "Agent" from being officially released on any OTT platforms.

[{"selector":"#anim-77c1589e-de11-4e43-8a6b-512780f71489","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d458c200-b65b-4b93-aa2f-3f8a8b78529e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 140.58315%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7d22d3e4-7399-48ad-8086-423daf062094","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-280a669a-a398-40ae-9773-dc11d0b91d1c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Hindi version of "Agent" was rumored to premiere on Goldmines TV on July 28.

[{"selector":"#anim-aa9143fb-9484-4c80-a352-21317c228995","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-15a06bb8-dfc2-4a35-b410-efeb9b709e91","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 140.58315%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e51baa82-eeaa-4005-9d12-5ea3f2b1ee3a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2629d4dc-d429-4f4b-a359-d09cb16984de [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

An unofficial version of "Agent" appeared on YouTube, raising questions about its origin and legality.

[{"selector":"#anim-97e7e640-21cc-4a24-b88a-f8fa5bc1361a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a93cef1c-d35b-4346-8c06-782a5418c308","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 140.58315%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6581906f-746e-43a2-a6dc-f58150955169","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f474b595-54c9-4368-85b7-c78ce120c62b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The unofficial release provides viewers a chance to see why "Agent" failed so disastrously.

[{"selector":"#anim-86955a17-82f4-40b4-ae83-4a1633142ac5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f05417df-e0db-4546-bde1-e7bf75ce9900","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 140.58315%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bb4d2093-7fca-4fb4-bac8-85337aa5c197","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cc6dbbe0-4888-4d31-8545-61dc2a3714e9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
