Produced by Vashu Bhagnani, the Hindi adaptation went on floors in August 2021 in London and was wrapped up in October. Akshay reportedly plays the role of a cop who tries to track down a mysterious killer.
The synopsis of the original film reads – “Arun gives up on his dream of becoming a filmmaker and takes up the job of a police officer after his father’s death. He then attempts to track down a psychotic killer who targets schoolgirls.”
Now, we hear that the makers of ‘Mission Cinderella’ have supposedly decided to skip the theatrical release. As per the latest Peeping Moon report, the movie is said to have an OTT release on Disney+ Hotstar during the Eid-weekend in May 2022.
“The emergence of OTT platforms has changed the consumption pattern of audiences. They are now going to theatres only for big-scale massey movies and watching psychological and niche genre movies on the screens of their phones and laptops. Akshay believes his film with Ranjit M. Tewary falls in the category of the latter and hence decided to give it a digital release as that would give the film more eyeballs.”

However, there is no official confirmation yet.
On the work front, Akshay is currently gearing up for the release of his next – ‘Bachchhan Paandey’. He also has movies like ‘Prithviraj’, ‘Ram Setu’, ‘Oh My God 2’, ‘Raksha Bandhan’, ‘Selfiee’ and ‘Gorkha’ lined up ahead of him.
On the other hand, Rakul will be seen in movies like ‘Runway 34’, ‘Thank God’, ‘Doctor G’, ‘Attack: Part 1’, ‘Chhatriwali’ & more.
