Kriti Sanon And Pankaj Tripathi’s Mimi To Take The Digital Route Amid Possibility Of Third COVID-19 Wave?

Last year many exciting Bollywood films took the digital route as theatres were shut down and the country was under a lockdown due to the pandemic. Things started to look up a few months ago and films like Roohi and Saina arrived on the big screen. However, they did not do as well as was expected and soon we were hit by the second wave of coronavirus, which made things worse. Many filmmakers are now considering OTT premieres once again. One such film which may release on a digital platform instead of the big screen is Kriti Sanon and Pankaj Tripathi starrer Mimi.

In a report shared by Bollywood Hungama, a source was quoted saying, “Dinesh Vijan (producer) has inked a huge deal with a big streaming giant to premiere Kriti's Mimi, along with a few other projects that are already in place. While the team wanted to release their movies in theatres and even tried the same with Roohi, the current situation looks extremely bleak for theatres to even think of reopening. It doesn't seem likely in the next three months, because there is a possibility of a third wave.”

For the uninitiated, Laxman Utekar’s directorial Mimi is based on the Marathi film Mala Aai Vhhaychy! and will feature Kriti as a surrogate mother. The source further revealed that the producer has earned a good profit and fans can expect an announcement about the digital release soon. Vijan is considering an OTT premiere for Sunny Kaushal and Radhika Madan starrer Shiddat as well. Let’s wait and watch what happens!
