While the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic still continues, re-opening cinema halls still remains a big question. Several filmmakers and producers have been approaching various OTT platforms for their film release as cinema halls continue to remain shut. With the ongoing pandemic situation, the digital renaissance has begun. It was known to us that Sonam Kapoor has collaborated with producer Sujoy Ghosh for a mystery thriller titled, ‘Blind.’
As per the reports of Bollywood Hungama, the makers of the film are opting for a digital release, considering the ongoing scenario. On the other hand, it is not yet confirmed when cinema halls will be fully functional and open to people. With uncertainty and a long wait for cinema halls to re-open, producers and filmmakers have been choosing OTT platforms over theatres for their film releases.
The makers are very happy with how the film has turned out. They had also thought of waiting for a theatrical release but given the third wave scare, they are not ready to take the risk and have chosen to go with the digital release. As per the reports of Bollywood Hungama, producers are in talks with three digital streaming companies and they will go with the one who offers the best deal by the end of it.
This will also be Sonam’s digital debut and I am excited to see what she has in store for us with this film. With that said, hope everyone is staying safe at home and taking care of themselves. Remember to always wear a mask when stepping out and sanitize your hands regularly.
