Nawauddin
On
OTT
Releases
Ghoomketu,
originally
completed
in
2014
and
set
to
release
in
2018,
is
finally
getting
released
on
OTT
platform.
Many
other
producers
have
also
opted
to
release
films
on
OTT
platform
including
Gulabo
Sitabo,
Shakuntala
Devi
and
more.
Many
have
expressed
their
disappointment
as
the
move
will
hurt
the
theatre
business
once
the
lockdown
is
lifted.
Talking
about
the
release
of
his
film
on
OTT
platform,
Nawazuddin
said
that
it
does
not
matter
to
him
as
an
actor,
on
which
platform
the
film
releases.

To
Release
On
Zee5
"When
we
were
shooting
this
film,
we
shot
it
like
how
we
shoot
films
for
theatres.
In
today's
time,
I
think
OTT
is
the
only
way
where
people
are
able
to
watch
films.
So
I
don't
personally
think
that
it
really
matters
to
actors.
And
actors
shouldn't
be
concerned
about
whether
their
films
release
on
OTT
or
theatres
anyway.
The
fact
that
our
films
are
able
to
release
is
in
itself
a
big
thing," Nawazuddin
told
reporters
in
the
virtual
press
conference.

Nawazuddin
On
Co-Starring
With
Anurag
Kashyap
This
is
the
first
time
that
Nawazuddin
has
worked
with
Anurag
as
a
co-star.
The
two
have
collaborated
on
various
projects
earlier,
including
films
like
Gangs
of
Wasseypur,
Raman
Raghav
2.0
and
Netflix
hit
crime
series,
Sacred
Games.
Talking
about
their
new
work
dynamic,
Nawazuddin
added,
"While
it
was
a
lot
of
fun,
I
was
never
able
to
consider
him
a
character.
I
always
felt
he
was
Anurag.
I
would
feel
he
might
say,
'Cut' in
between
and
because
he
is
a
director
I
also
feared
he
would
catch
my
mistakes.
So
there
was
a
little
fear
when
I
worked
with
him
as
an
actor."
Ghoomketu
is
set
to
premiere
on
Zee5
on
May
22,
2020.
