Multiplex Chains To Not release OTT Movies Like Dil Bechara, Gunjan Saxena, Gulabo Sitabo Among Others In Theatres
The covid-19 pandemic has hit the showbiz, due to which the production of the films was forced to shut down followed by theatres, cinema halls, and multiplexes being closed in the lockdown in the month of March. ## The shutdown of showbiz was a big setback for the filmmakers and exhibitors, and to overcome this, the filmmakers took to the OTT route to release their films, which was heavily criticized by cinema owners. Now, they have decided not to release any of OTT releases in theatres as the government has allowed reopening cinemas from October 15. ## There was talk that films premiered on OTT platforms in which Sushant Singh Rajput's last movie Dil Bechara, Shakuntala Devi, Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, Sadak 2, Gulabo Sitabo, and Khuda Haafiz are prominant, might release in cinemas, but the leading multiplex chains (PVR, Cinepolis, Inox, and Carnival) have decided against it. ## IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT...
