’83: Streaming Giant Offers Rs 143 Crore To The Makers Of This Ranveer Singh Starrer To Release Digitally?

The Novel Coronavirus outbreak has brought everything to stand still. With cinema halls being closed and everyone practising social distancing, many films have faced the wrath as their release stand postponed. If now the reports are to be believed, a streaming giant with worldwide reach has offered the makers of Ranveer Singh’s ’83 a whopping 143 crores to get the rights and release the film digitally.

Directed by Kabir Khan, ’83 is based on Indian Cricket Team’s iconic victory at the 1983 Cricket World Cup. Starring Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev the film was set to release on April 10 but the pandemic postponed it. Now if grapevine is to go by, a streaming giant has offered a huge amount to the makers of the film but they have denied to do the same.

According to the report in Bollywood Hungama, Reliance CEO Shibashish Sarkar denied the news. He said, “There is no truth to these reports. 83 has been made for the big-screen experience. Right now, theres no intention or interest of the directors or we as the producers of taking these films to the small screen. If the situation deteriorates rapidly or there is no visibility of normalcy even after six months, we will evaluate then. But right now, we are all quite positive and I foresee that between next 4 to 6 months, cinema halls will start operating. So thats the hope and mind-set which we currently have.”
