Now, for those who missed watching the film in theatres, the film will finally be available for OTT release. Top Gun: Maverick will be available to rent from the Amazon Prime Video platform from August 24 onwards. The streaming giant took to its social media handles and wrote, "nonstop suspense, action, and drama coming your way. Top Gun: Maverick available on #PrimeVideoStore, in 3 days!". The poster also mentioned that the film will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

A sequel to the 1986 release Top Gun, the latest release directed by Joseph Kosinski stars the Mission Impossible star reprising his role of Captain Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell from the original. Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Lewis Pullman, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Ed Harris, and Val Kilmer play the supporting roles.

The film is set over 30 years after the events of Top Gun and sees Maverick training a group of Top Gun graduates, including Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw (Teller), the son of his late wingman Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw portrayed by Anthony Edwards in the 1986 film, for a specialized mission. The actioner, like the original, makes no mention of the enemy force, which is something that Kosinski said is in line with the first film.READ | Top Gun Maverick Twitter review: Cine-goers say Tom Cruise is 'sensational', call Top Gun 2 'movie of the year'
