Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan & Dhanush’s ‘ATRANGI RE’ Movie To Have An OTT RELEASE?

Soon after the news of theatres re-opening in Maharashtra came out, Akshay Kumar announced the slate of his upcoming releases.

5 of his upcoming films- ‘Sooryavanshi’, ‘Prithviraj’, ‘Bachchan Pandey’, ‘Ram Setu’, ‘Raksha Bandhan’– will be released in cinemas.

However, fans are wondering why there was no announcement regarding the release of ‘Atrangi Re’- another Akshay Kumar film that is almost complete and ready to release. The Anand L. Rai directorial also features Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush.

During an interview with HT, Akshay has revealed that the ‘Atrangi Re’ team is still ‘mulling over’ whether the movie should be released in theatres or on an OTT platform.

“To be honest, I haven’t yet included Atrangi Re in the list because we are still mulling over whether it should be a theatrical film or an OTT release. And OTT may simply be the medium of choice for Atrangi Re, as it looks right now,” said the actor.

Now, if this media report is to be believed, the makers have supposedly opted for a direct-to-digital release on Netflix. While the makers are yet to sign on the dotted lines, they are said to be on the verge of locking the deal with the said OTT giant.

“The film release calendar is packed with a new release every week. Atrangi Re is not exactly a big-ticket film and hence, the makers have been discussing different modes of release over the last few months. Even though cinema halls have opened up across the country, the team feels, a direct OTT release will enable Atrangi Re to reach out to its target audience in a better way,” a source revealed to the portal.

We can’t wait for the official announcement.
