Amidst the novel Coronavirus scare, everything has come to a halt. From shootings to film releases, everything seems to have come to a standstill. Due to the pandemic, theatres all across the globe have been shut and therefore the makers have confirmed that they are heading towards digital release of the films.
After Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana’s Gulabo Sitabo and the Hindi biopic Shakuntala Devi, starring Vidya Balan, Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani’s Laxmmi Bomb will reportedly be exclusively made available on the OTT platform.
The film, which was earlier scheduled to be released on Eid 2020, has now been shifted due to the nationwide lockdown. And, there is no sight of theatres re-opening any time soon. Considering the situation, speculations are rife that makers of Laxmmi Bomb are planning to release it online but there is no official statement released.
