According to a report in Pinkvilla, Ali Abbas’s ‘Bloody Daddy’ starring Shahid will be released in theatres.

A source said, “Ever since the beginning, the Ali Abbas Zafar and Shahid Kapoor project has been conceptualized as a big scale action thriller for the cinema halls. All the stakeholders believe that an action thriller like this has a massive theatrical audience, and this combo of Ali with Shahid will create the right amount of noise. There has been confusion over its release medium since Ali was discussing some other project with an OTT platform, however, that’s not happening at the moment.”

When can the film get an OTT release?

The source further added that this film can be brought on OTT only in the circumstances of a complete lockdown in the country.

The source believes that everyone is optimistic and that such dull days will not come again.

At the same time, according to the report of Let’s OTT Global, this film of Shahid is being made for Netflix. So, it will be aired on Netflix in early 2022.
