A few days back, it was reported that Sajid Nadiadwala had shifted Bawaal’s theatrical release to OTT instead.
The Janhvi Kapoor-Varun Dhawan starrer Bawaal will now have a direct-to-OTT premiere on Amazon Prime in July 2023. The exact date is yet to be unveiled.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari (of Chhichhore fame), Bawaal is produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
“Bawaal is among the most ambitious films by Sajid Nadiadwala that rides on a subject that doesn’t exactly have the commercial trappings of dance and music. In the present market scenario. Sajid feels that it’s best to bring Bawaal on direct to digital, rather than risking a theatrical outing. The idea is to go global with Bawaal and Amazon is the perfect partner for that reach,” an insider source had revealed earlier.
Apart from Bawaal, Varun Dhawan will be seen in the Indian spinoff series of Citadel with Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Janhvi Kapoor is making her Telugu debut with Jr NTR’s Devara.
