'Teddy' is the first of its kind Tamil film to use an Indian company to entirely design a special animated character and second of its kind Tamil film to use motion-capture technology, to bring a teddy bear to life.

Reports suggest that the makers of films were holding talks with the streaming giant, Prime Video for the last few weeks and they have come to an agreement on the deal. More details about the release plans are expected soon.
