The makers of ‘Mission Cinderella’ have supposedly decided to skip the theatrical release. Here’s Why-
Akshay Kumar-Rakul Preet Singh will be seen in the upcoming movie directed by Ranjit Tewari. The movie is the Hindi remake of the 2018 Tamil psychological crime thriller ‘Ratsasan’. Akshay reportedly plays the role of a cop who tries to track down a mysterious killer.
With the rise of OTT platforms, the audience has made themselves friendly with the online content. Well these OTT platforms have made the directors and actors think much about their releases, whether to go OTT or to the theatres. This Ranjit Tewari directorial was supposed to release in the theatres but as per the latest Peeping Moon report, the movie is said to have an OTT release on Disney+ Hotstar during the Eid weekend, May 2022.
A source revealed to the portal, “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.” Though there is still no confirmation.
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.
