The
Coronavirus
pandemic
has
changed
our
lives
in
just
a
matter
of
months.
This
holds
good
even
for
the
way
business
runs
in
the
Hindi
film
industry.
Many
filmmakers
are
opting
to
release
their
films
on
digital
platforms
because
theatres
are
shut
for
the
foreseeable
future.
This
has
caused
a
raging
debate
on
whether
films
should
wait
for
theatrical
release
or
go
ahead
and
have
OTT
release,
in
these
times.
Actor
Aparshakti
Khurana
thinks
it
does
not
matter
where
a
film
releases
right
now,
as
long
as
audiences
connect
to
the
film.
He
is
happy
that
the
industry
is
resuming
business
slowly,
and
he
is
ready
to
get
back
to
Mumbai
as
soon
as
his
projects
roll
out.
When
Hindustan
Times
asked
Apasrshakti
if
he
is
okay
with
OTT
release
for
his
films,
he
said,
"Given
the
crisis,
I
don't
think
it
really
matters
right
now
whether
a
film
comes
out
in
a
theatre
or
on
the
web.
It's
very
important
for
people
to
come
and
connect
to
the
film,
chaahe
phir
woh
kahin
par
bhi
dekhe."
Talking
about
resuming
work,
he
said,
"I'm
really
happy
that
the
fraternity
is
taking
baby
steps
towards
getting
back
to
work.
I
plan
to
come
back
to
Mumbai
as
soon
as
my
projects
start
operating.
We've
been
working
from
home
already
doing
video
narrations
and
taking
workshop
for
my
next
projects
online.
So,
I'm
preparing
myself
mentally
also
to
go
back
on
the
sets
of
course
with
necessary
precautions."
Aparshakti
and
his
wife
are
currently
spending
time
with
his
parents
in
Chandigarh.
He
added,
"We
all
need
to
operate
together
and
face
this
situation.
We're
all
going
though
similar
things,
so
I
can't
just
concentrate
on
my
worries.
We
need
to
focus
on
fixing
this
situation,
so
we
can
get
back
to
normal
soon."
Aparshakti
was
last
seen
in
Remo
D'Souza's
dance
film,
Street
Dancer
3D.
His
next
films
are
Jayeshbhai
Jordaar,
and
his
first
lead
film,
Helmet.
