Radhe: Salman Khan Extends An Apology To Theatre Owners; Says Box Office Collection Of His Film Would Be Zero
In a latest media interaction, Salman Khan spoke about his film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai releasing on OTT instead of theatres
Salman Khan's much-awaited film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai will finally see the light of the day as it will release on May 13. Sadly, due to the Coronavirus situation in India, the film will release on OTT and DTH platforms instead of theatres. Though the plan was to release in theatres as Salman received a request from the owners. However, the pandemic hit hard, and makers had to opt for OTT release. Now, while promoting Radhe ahead of its release, Salman extended an apology to theatre owners saying that it was the right thing to do.
Mentioning that Radhe's box office collection would be zero since it is releasing only in limited theatres world-wide too, the Dabangg actor was quoted saying, "I apologise to all the theatre owners that we are doing the film now and it is the right thing to do. The intention was that we release this film as soon as the pandemic gets over but it doesn’t seem to be so. So, the intention was to release in theatres as you would remember a few months back, it was on social media a request to release Radhe in theatres on Eid and we agreed to it. Because they thought that getting Radhe in theatres would get the crowds back and the theatres would come back in being functional but that did not happen. Now, this film is going to be released on OTT and theatres abroad in about 20-25 theatres. And, once the theatres open even after this OTT release, because there are still people who would want to watch it in theatres and some who don’t watch on OTT, we will do a release in India in theatres as well. Abroad, it is releasing. Not with the same number of prints that we usually released but it is being released abroad."
However, Salman Khan did mention that once the pandemic is over and it is safe for people to watch a movie in theatres, he would re-release Radhe for everyone.
