‘Bawaal’: Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor starrer to release on OTT? Find out here

‘Bawaal’, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, is all set to be released in October.

However, the film will not hit the theatres. The Nitesh Tiwari directorial is likely to be released on the digital platform Amazon Prime Video.

A source informed Bollywood Hungama, '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, who has a knack of commercial cinema, feels that it’s best to bring Bawaal directly to digital, rather than risking a theatrical outing.'

After getting a great deal from digital players, Sajid decided to part ways with the original plans of bringing it in theatres.

'Sajid got into conversation with his actors, Varun and Janhvi, and it’s only after having all been on the same page did he take this call. The entire team believes that Bawaal will win over the audience’s love on OTT. The film is a poetry in motion and is expected to reach out to an even wider audience base on digital medium, which might not have been possible with theatrical release. The idea is to go global with Bawaal and Amazon is the perfect partner for that reach,' the source added.

On the work front, Varun Dhawan is currently shooting for his web series ‘Citadel’ with Samantha Ruth Prabhu in Siberia.

Janhvi will next be seen in ‘Mr and Mrs Mahi’ with Rajkummar Rao. She is currently busy shooting for the film. She will also star in ‘Ulajh’ with Gulshan Devaiah and Roshan Mathew.
