MUMBAI: Keerthy Suresh-starrer Tamil movie "Saani Kaayidham" will make its worldwide debut on Prime Video on May 6, the streamer announced on Friday.
The film, which will be available in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam on Prime Video, has been directed by Arun Matheswaran and also stars actor-filmmaker Selvaraghavan.
