The growing influence of Korean pop culture has captivated audiences worldwide, especially among the younger generation in India. From K-dramas to K-pop idols, the fascination with Korea continues to rise. Tapping into this trend, a new film titled Made in Korea has been created with a story that reflects this cultural wave.
Unlike traditional theatrical releases, Made in Korea has been designed directly for OTT viewing. The streaming rights have been acquired by Netflix, which recently unveiled the teaser and generated buzz among movie lovers. The platform has now officially confirmed that the film will premiere on March 12, 2026.
The film is directed by Ra. Karthik, who earlier made his debut with the critically appreciated Nitham Oru Vaanam. Even before the release of Made in Korea, the filmmaker has already bagged a major opportunity directing Tollywood star Nagarjuna for his landmark 100th film, highlighting the strong industry confidence in his talent.
Actress Priyanka Arul Mohan plays the lead role in this cross-cultural entertainer. The film is expected to blend romance, travel, and youthful aspirations, making it appealing to a wide demographic of viewers.
In a move aimed at reaching a broader audience, Made in Korea will stream in multiple languages. Along with Tamil, the film will also be available in Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada audio versions on the same day, ensuring pan-Indian accessibility.
The project is produced by Sreenidhi Sagar, and with the global reach of Netflix backing it, expectations are quite high. Given the rising popularity of Korean culture and the film’s contemporary theme, Made in Korea could strike a chord with young viewers looking for relatable and trend-driven storytelling on OTT platforms.
