83: Director Kabir Khan Confirms Taking The OTT Route If Further Covid Restrictions Are Imposed

With the sudden surge in COVID 19 cases, most pan India movie makers have been considering postponing their movie releases, especially the ones that had been scheduled in the first or second week of January. Several big budget projects like RRR and Jersey have already taken a call after the box office numbers of movies like 83 got heavily affected. In a recent interaction, 83 director Kabir Khan opened up on going for the OTT route if the trend continues.

The sports-drama movie hit the theatres on 24 December 2021 and garnered impressive numbers in the first few days. It stars actor Ranveer Singh in the lead role and is based on the Indian cricket team’s 1983 world cup win which is considered as one of the most iconic moments in Indian cricket history.

In a recent interaction with Mid-Day, 83 director Kabir Khan opened up about the current situation and his alternate plan if state governments continue to impose restrictions. Even though he had no plans in the past to release the film on OTT, the team is now considering the OTT route as an option.
