Amidst the Covid-19 situation, many films are getting released on OTT platforms.
Parineeti Chopra’s next ‘The Girl On The Train’ will be released on Netflix next month.
Now, rumors went rife that another Parineeti starrer movie may also take the digital route.
According to ETimes, the ‘Ishaqzaade’ actress’ Saina Nehwal biopic might have an OTT release.
“Saina was slated to hit theatres last summer, but the plans came to a halt because of the pandemic. Now, the makers have again begun discussions about its release. Considering theatres are functioning at 50 percent occupancy, they are considering an OTT release. A final call has yet to be taken,” a source revealed to a leading daily.
Shubhrajyoti Barat, who plays Parineeti’s father Harvir Singh Nehwal, stated, “The video-streaming platforms are an effective option. That said, these decisions are best left to the producers. The film may release in the next few months. Personally, I would love to see Saina in theatres.”
Produced by T-Series, this Amole Gupta directorial also features Manav Kaul as Saina’s coach, Pullela Gopichand.
Earlier, Shraddha Kapoor was cast to play the role of Saina. However, due to reasons best known to makers, she was replaced by Parineeti Chopra.
