Zareen Khan Starrer LGBTQ Film 'Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele' Headed For A Digital Release Confirms The Actress

The LGBTQ+ themed upcoming film "Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele " will be released on a digital platform instead of getting a theatrical release, amid the COVID-19 lockdown. The film features Zareen Khan and Anshuman Jha in lead roles.

" A gay boy, a lesbian girl, a road trip... What do you think happened next? #HumBhiAkeleTumBhiAkele. Happy Pride month from Veer and Mansi. Since we can't release this journey of friendship in theatres this June, we promise to see you soon digitally. Stay tuned for more as we will be 'coming out' with an announcement to make this month even more special," Zareen wrote on social media, confirming the news.

Directed by Harish Vyas, "Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele" is pitched as a mainstream Bollywood film with Zareen and Anshuman essaying gay protagonists.

"Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele" won Best Film award in New York at the HBO South Asian Film Festival in December last year, where its world premiere was also held.

The film was earlier scheduled for a theatrical release in February but was pushed forward for March or April. Since the lockdown posed a challenge the film is now like many others heading for OTT platforms.
