Makers of Sooryavanshi and 83 are willing to wait for 4-6 months, no OTT release at this moment

As there are reports floating in the market that Bollywood movies are soon going to release in Digital medium (OTT Platform), we have some important updates on much-awaited upcoming biggies Sooryavanshi and 83.

Producer of Sooryavanshi and 83 have clarified that they can wait for another four to six months to have a proper theatrical release of these films. These films are already ready and awaiting releases. It means till August 2020 at least (October 2020 at the most it seems) they can wait considering all financial risk factors. However, after that they have to think of alternative actions.

According to latest update in Mid-Day, Shibasish Sarkar, group CEO, Reliance Entertainment, says,

Sooryavanshi and 83 have been made for the big-screen experience. We are hoping theatres will open (in the near future), and we will be able to release our films. For now, we are willing to wait for four to six months (before considering an alternate course of action). We are taking a risk in terms of our equity and return. But we believe in our films and want to see them on the big screen. Also, theatres are an important part of the entertainment eco-system.

Today only we posted an article on our site that whether Bollywood movies are going to release in the OTT Platform?

The exhibitor circle is totally furious with this kind of news. They are totally against movies getting directly released in the digital medium. However, makers have no choice as huge money is in stake and a lot of loans to be cleared. Let's see how things unfold in the coming days.

We can only hope that situation in India and the whole world get better soon in the coming days, otherwise, we will have total chaos in the coming days. Big-ticket films are best watched in theaters and no fans should be devoid of that adventure. The only solution is that there is some solid answer to coronavirus Covid 19 pandemic and the situation becomes normal and safe again.
