Meanwhile, the Maharashtra government has also issued fresh guidelines stating that the theatres in the state will remain closed until October 31. The Tamil Nadu government has also decided not to open cinema halls until the end of October.

It must be recollected that cinema halls across the country have remained closed since March to curb the spread of COVID-19. Some of the last few Bollywood films to get a theatrical release were Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, Baaghi 3 and Angrezi Medium. And due to the unending wait, a number of big movies such as Sadak 2, Gulabo Sitabo and Khaali Peeli went ahead and opted for an OTT release.
