Yesterday Disney plus Hotstar officially announced that Bollywood stars including Akshay Kumar, Ajay
Devgn, Varun Dhawan, Abhishek Bachchan and Alia Bhatt would be live with Uday Shankar (President
Disney and Star India) at 4:30 PM. We all were expecting big announcement as from a few days there was
rumors that few movies will release on OTT platform, as due to ongoing Covid-19 situation opening of
cinema halls are not certain so film makers are bound to release their movies on digital platforms.
As expected today during live conversation we witness the biggest announcement of the digital platform as Disney plus Hotstar announced seven blockbusters movies to release from July to October.

Akshay Kumar was the first one to release the official poster his upcoming movie “Laxxmi Bomb” co-stars Kaira Advani and confirmed that the movie will release on Disney plus Hotstar Multiplex although release date of this movie is not confirm yet. Many of you know that Laxxmi Bomb movie was set to release during Eid weekend and ready to clash with Salman Khan Starrer “Radhe” but this does not happen due to Covid
pandemic. It also rumor that this movie is costliest movie, which is releasing on digital platform and
Hotstar purchased this movie by paying around 125 Cr.
After that Ajay Devgn announced his movie “Bhuj:ThePrideOfIndia” and release two official poster of the movie one poster featuring himself and another poster of his co-star Sanjay Dutt. It is one of the most anticipated movie of 2020 and expectation from the movies was very high after the super success
of his last movie “TanhaJi:TheUnsungWarrior”. It was also set to release on Independence Day weekend
but now it will have digital release and release date is not announce yet for this movie. It co-stars
Sonakshi Sinha, Ammy Virk, Sharad Kelkar and Nora Fatehi in the lead.
Abhishek Bachchan was next to announce his movie “The Big Bull” co-stars Ileana D’Cruz which movie poster was released by Ajay Devgn who is also producer of the film. It based on true events and release date of this movie is also not announce but it is inevitable that all these movies will release from July to October as confirmed by Uday Shankar.
Alia bhatt was next to announce her movie “Sadak2” and released the official poster of the movie. It is sequel of Sadak, which was release in 1991. Movie co-stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Pooja Bhatt and Sanjay Dutt. This is first time Alia is working with sister and father as Mahest bhatt is directing this movie after a very long time.
After that, Varun Dhawan announced that late Sushant Singh Rajput last movie “Dil Bechara” will also have digital release and it was first to release among these films and all set to release on 24 July. Movie directed by Mukesh Chhabra and co-stars Sanjana Sanghi and Saif Ali Khan.
Next movie was “Khuda Hafiz” starring Vidyut Jammwal, Shivaleeka Oberoi and Annu Kapoor in the lead. Movie directed by Faruk Kabir. It is real story based on economic recession of 2008.
Last movie in the list was Kunal Kemmu starring “LootCase” co-stars Rasika Dugal, Ranvir Shorey, Vijay Raaz, Gajraj Rao which was slated to release last year but to unknown reasons it release date got shelved but now movie is all set to release on Hotstar.
For “Khuda Hafiz” and “LootCase” Vidyut Jammwal and Kunal Kemmu was not there in the live
conversation so it is really interesting to see how they reacts because as per me if there movie is
announced both stars should be also invited.
It is also confirm that these movies will not release on big screens once theaters open. However, this is very good news for all movie lovers including me wanted to watch new movies with fresh contents by sitting at home but at the same time, it is surely bad news for film exhibitions sector.
