Well, the coronavirus pandemic has made sure the film business suffers like never before! We are sure things are not going to be normal anytime soon. There were rumors about ’83 and Laxxmi Bomb that they would have a digital release but today it is in fact a reality and the makers are readying these films for release on the OTT platforms.
And now, if media reportage is to be believed, the latest to join the bandwagon is Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani starrer Shershaah. It is a war film with a little bit of romance interspersed, here and there. The film is based on the life of the Kargil Martyr Vikram Batra and is also complete and ready for a release. It was supposed to be out on 3rd July 2020 just four days before, the death anniversary of the Param Vir Chakra Awardee. But the lockdown imposed on the country to fight the coronavirus scare is now an impediment to its release.
According to a Pinkvilla report, Dharma Productions is now planning to release the film on a digital platform. Well, a source told the portal, "Dharma has been in talks with Netflix to sell their smaller budget ventures to them for a web premiere. They have already sold off Janhvi Kapoor starrer Gunjan Saxena and now, they are in advance discussed with the OTT platform for the Sidharth-Kiara film as well. There's no hope of people returning to theatres in a few months from now, because of the fear psychosis the situation has called for. So, it seemed more practical for the production house to put out a film like Shershaah that has been mounted on a moderate budget online."
However, the spokesperson of Dharma has denied this piece of news. What do you have to say about this?
