Since the whole nation is locked down due to the coronavirus outbreak, movie releases have been put on hold. Now many filmmakers are reportedly considering OTT platforms to release the film. Recently, filmmaker Shoojit Sircar said that he is open to taking Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana starrer ‘Gulabo Sitabo’ digitally if needed.
There were also reports that Janhvi Kapoor’s Kargil Girl is also looking for a digital release.
Now according to the reports T-Series is in talk with Netflix to sell films including Jhund and Ludo.
A source was quoted by a daily as saying, “The studio has eight to 10 films that are close to the finish line. While the head honchos were in talks with Netflix, Amazon Prime and other OTT platforms for a direct-to-web release, their conversation with Netflix has advanced considerably. Nagraj Manjule’s Jhund and Anurag Basu’s Ludo, starring Abhishek Bachchan, Rajkummar Rao and Fatima Sana Shaikh, are among the movies in discussion.”
It is important that all the producers of the film are on the same page when considering OTT release. Now it’ll be interesting to see which film gets through this. Until let’s wait for an official announcement.
