That’s yet another heartening piece of news in the week when several announcements have already come in for movies releasing in theatres first. While as many as 15 films have already made their intentions clear in the last 5-6 days about their theatrical release plans, soon Mumbai Saga too would be announcing the same. What makes it all the more heartening is the fact that it was all but ready to premiere on Amazon Prime. However, the recent round of conversations has pretty much confirmed that it would be theatres first for the biggie.
“Other than Sooryavanshi, Radhe and 83, if there was one more biggie that was waiting patiently for a year to make a theatrical arrival, it was Mumbai Saga. For a really long time, everyone associated with the film stuck to their guns that they won’t go for an OTT premiere. However, a few weeks back finally the deal was struck with Amazon Prime. It was done with a heavy heart though since both John Abraham as well as Sanjay Gupta felt that they had made something for the big screen and to deprive audiences of that would be unfair,” informs our source.
There was a lot of flip-flops that happened even after the OTT release was announced but even as the final date was being put together, John Abraham felt that Mumbai Saga should be coming first only at theatres.
