ATRANGI RE, starring Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan, and Dhanush, Will Have An OTT Release?
Soon after the news of Maharashtra theatres reopening broke, Akshay Kumar released a list of his future films.
Five of his next movies will be released in theatres: ‘Sooryavanshi,’ ‘Prithviraj,’ ‘Bachchan Pandey,’ ‘Ram Setu,’ and ‘Raksha Bandhan.’
Fans, on the other hand, are questioning why no announcement was made about the release of ‘Atrangi Re,’ another Akshay Kumar film that is almost finished and ready to be released. Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush also star in the film directed by Anand L. Rai.
Akshay mentioned in an interview with HT that the ‘Atrangi Re’ team is still ‘mulling over’ whether the film should be released in theatres or on an OTT platform.
“To be honest, I haven’t put Atrangi Re on the list yet since we’re still debating whether it should be a theatrical or OTT release. And, as it is today, OTT may simply be Atrangi Re’s preferred medium,” the actor stated.
According to this media rumor, the filmmakers have decided to distribute the film on Netflix as a direct-to-digital release. While the producers have yet to sign on the dotted lines, they are thought to be close to finalizing a deal with the OTT giant.
“Every week, a new film is released on the film release schedule. Because Atrangi Re isn’t exactly a big-budget film, the filmmakers have been mulling over several distribution options in recent months. Despite the fact that cinema halls have opened around the country, the team believes that a direct OTT release will allow Atrangi Re to reach its target audience more effectively,” a source told the portal.
We are eagerly awaiting the formal announcement.
