The
Coronavirus
lockdown
is
making
many
filmmakers
consider
releasing
their
already
produced
films
on
digital
platforms.
It
is
uncertain
as
to
when
the
pandemic
will
abate
and
theatres
will
be
functioning
as
they
used
to.
While
some
filmmakers,
like
those
of
'83
and
Sooryavanshi,
want
to
hold
off
on
releasing
their
films
digitally,
but
other
films
like
Angrezi
Medium
have
already
hit
the
digital
platform.
Recently,
Arjun
Kapoor
opened
up
on
whether
his
upcoming
film,
Sandeep
Aur
Pinky
Faraar
may
release
digitally.
He
said
that
he
is
not
involved
in
the
decision
making,
but
he
does
not
see
anything
wrong
with
a
digital
release.
In
an
interview
with
Pinkvilla,
when
Arjun
was
asked
about
the
possibility
of
the
film's
release
on
OTT
platforms,
he
said,
"I'm
not
involved
in
the
selling
and
buying
of
any
of
my
films.
My
producers
are
more
involved
with
that
bit.
That
is
a
reality
for
certain
films
that
might
choose
that
path.
I
don't
see
anything
wrong
with
that."
"As
an
artist,
if
you
look
at
the
purity
of
it
right
now,
the
medium
is
not
important.
Getting
your
material
out
there
is
important.
And
for
that,
if
certain
films
have
to
be
released
on
digital,
I
don't
see
anything
wrong
in
it,"
(sic)
he
added.
Sandeep
Aur
Pinky
Faraar
has
been
directed
and
produced
by
Dibakar
Banerjee.
The
film
also
stars
Parineeti
Chopra.
Initially
scheduled
for
release
on
March
20,
2020,
it
has
now
been
postponed
indefinitely.
Talking
about
Arjun,
he
was
last
seen
in
Ashutosh
Gowarikar's
period
drama
Panipat,
which
also
starred
Sanjay
Dutt
and
Kriti
Sanon
in
the
lead.
The
film
was
based
on
the
Third
Battle
of
Panipat.
