One
of
Amitabh
Bachchan's
films
titled
Shoebite,
directed
by
Shoojit
Sircar
has
been
stalled
from
releasing
since
2010.
Recently,
filmmaker
Anurag
Kashyap
tweeted
to
producers
to
release
the
film
on
OTT
platforms.
Anurag
tweeted,
"Just
thought
of
this
great
film
I
was
shown
on
the
edit
machine
@ShoojitSircar's
"SHOEBITE"
.
Can
in
times
like
these
@RonnieScrewvala
@SrBachchan
all
of
them
not
work
together
to
release
it
somewhere
online
..
Please,"
(sic).

A
while
back,
Ayushmann
Khurrana
had
revealed
that
he
thought
Shoebite
has
a
chance
of
being
India's
entry
to
the
Oscars
and
that
someone
should
release
it
soon.
Talking
to
Film
Companion
in
an
interview,
he
had
said,
"I
have
seen
that
film
twice
by
the
way
in
the
edit
and
it
is
his
best
film
till
date.
If
it
released,
it
is
going
to
be
India's
entry
to
Oscars
or
something
like
that.
It's
so
beautiful.
I
think
somebody
should
request
and
release
it
right
now.
This
is
the
time."
He
added,
"I
have
seen
it
twice
before
Vicky
Donor
by
the
way.
Once
alone
and
once
with
Tahira.
I
was
so
inspired
and
happy."
The
film's
release
has
been
held
because
two
studios
have
been
battling
over
its
copyright
for
a
number
of
years.
Shoojit
had
shared
that
the
film's
was
based
on
an
idea
by
Hollywood
director
M
Night
Shyamalan,
who
intended
to
make
the
same
film
in
Hollywood
but
has
not
so
far.
Shoojit
had
said
that
not
releasing
the
film
was
like
an
insult
to
a
great
artist
like
Amitabh
Bachchan
because
he
had
worked
on
it
for
two
years.
