As the country is in the state of the lockdown, everything is stalled. Even if the lockdown opens in the near future, people are now scared to enter the crowded places. This further increases the problem of upcoming Bollywood movies. The
Arjun Kapoor and
Parineeti Chopra starrer film Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar was to release in March this year. But due to the sudden push in the release date and uncertainty of the future, there are reports coming in that the makers will now release the film on the digital platforms.
However, in an interview with a leading daily, Arjun Kapoor said that he's unaware about all these decisions. "I'm not involved in the selling and buying of any of my films. My producers are more involved with that bit. That is a reality for certain films that might choose that path. I don't see anything wrong with that. Entertainment is a part of distraction in this reality which is very sad. We should make people happy and smile. As an artist, if you look at the purity of it right now, the medium is not important. Getting your material out there is important. And for that, if certain films have to be released on digital, I don't see anything wrong in it."
He further said, "Certain films can't afford to come on digital because their costs are too high and India doesn't have that subscription base. The masses are still not into consuming content digitally. When you talk about big money spinners like WAR, Uri, Tanhaji, or Kabir Singh, you won't get those numbers from digital. Like a Sooryvanshi is cinematic, so you can't expect a film like that to come on digital. But that doesn't mean that every film will wait it out."
