Shakun Batra‘s upcoming untitled movie will star Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday and Siddhant Chaturvedi is the next big thing Bollywood is waiting for.
Now, reports suggest that Shakun Batra is planning for an OTT release. Well, let’s find out more.
Bollywood Hungama reported that makers of this untitled movie are looking for an OTT release keeping in mind the high amount of intimate scenes that wouldn’t sit well with the censors.
The makers, Dharma Productions have approached both Disney+Hotstar as well as Amazon Prime Video to premiere and stream the film on the platform. However, nothing has been finalized yet.
A source says, “Shakun’s film is based on an extra-marital affair, given this storyline, it features a rather high amount intimate scenes which might not fit the Disney+Hotstar mandate of family-oriented content. On the other hand, Amazon Prime Video has found itself in the eye of the storm more often than not in the recent past. Keeping this it remains to be seen which of the two streaming giants agrees to acquire the venture. The makers were also in talks with Netflix earlier.”
The official announcement on direct to OTT release is awaited.
