According to rumours on Thursday, the movie ‘Pippa’, which is based on the battle of 1971, will be released digitally since the multiplex owners aren't happy with it. However, producers Ronnie Screwvala, Siddharth Roy Kapur, and Kamal Gianchandani of PVR Inox, who also represents the Multiplex Association of India (MAI), released a joint statement on the subject on Friday.

‘Pippa,’ directed by Raja Krishna Menon and starring Ishaan Khatter, Mrunal Thakur, and Priyanshu Painyuli, will debut in theatres rather than on any OTT service, according to a statement from the producers.

Here’s What The Producers Statement Says:

The statement stated: “This is in regard to an article that appeared in a newspaper publication yesterday with the headline ‘Pipped for an OTT release’ which made some completely unsubstantiated assertions about supposed issues between the producers of PIPPA and multiplex operators, causing PIPPA to allegedly opt for an OTT release. Neither the producers nor any multiplex operators were approached for comment before the publication of this article.”
