We are in for a series of official announcements. Cinema halls are all set to remain close for at least May and June months. It has led to serious complications of business models of upcoming Bollywood movies. Chances are increasing day by day that films will directly release on the OTT platform now. Strong rumour suggests that few films have already cracked good deals and few more are soon going to happen as talks are in advance stage.
The first name comes to our mind is of Laxmmi Bomb. Rumours are very strong that Laxmmi bomb will release in OTT and that also on Disney+Hotstar and in the month of June. Multiple sources have more or less confirmed the news. According to them, the deal is already sealed and an official announcement is on its way. Interestingly the makers of the film have not denied the development.
Also, it has come to know that Gulabo Sitabo, Gunjan Saxena, Shakuntala Devi are next in line to release on the OTT platform. Deals of those films are also sealed.
There is a 50-50 chance of films such as Jhund and Ludo may also release on OTT. Rumours are not strong of those as if now.
Coming to films that are not releasing on OTT at this moment are Sooryavanshi, 83, Coolie No.1, Radhe among the biggies.
Makers of Sooryavanshi and 83 have recently given a hint that they will wait till the end of October this year. If the situation doesn't come under control and theatres don't open then they will decide an alternative course of action. Makers of Coolie No.1 will also give a thought if the situation doesn't improve in the next 2-3 months. As far as Radhe, there is no clarity at this moment. In fact, Radhe's film shooting is still pending and will commence once everything is back to normal. This is what last informed by the makers.
