According
to
a
Bollywood
Hungama
report,
Radhe's
success
with
the
hybrid
release
(pay-per-view
and
DTH)
has
lead
to
a
wave
of
cheers
for
investors.
Reportedly,
Zee's
servers
had
also
crashed
as
hordes
of
people
logged
in
to
view
Radhe
on
day
1
of
release,
ultimately
fetching
4.2
million
views.
The
film
also
registered
9.9
million+
views
over
the
4-day
weekend
across
all
platforms,
including
DTH.
Now,
Zee
Studios
is
reportedly
planning
similar
releases
for
other
films
like
action
entertainer
Antim
and
sports
drama
Maidaan.
The
report
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"The
industry
has
now
realized
that
if
a
film
stars
a
big
name,
then
a
simultaneous
release
in
cinemas
and
on
a
platform
like
ZEEPlex
can
be
an
interesting
proposition.
Hence,
Zee's
top
honchos
wasted
no
time
and
have
already
approached
around
4-5
highly
awaited
biggies.
The
makers
are
in
talks
with
Zee
and
this
shows
how
widely
ZEEPlex
has
got
acceptance."
The
source
has
not
confirmed
which
films
would
opt
for
a
hybrid
release.
Speculations
has
led
industry
insiders
to
believe
that
makers
of
Sooryavanshi
and
83
may
consider
the
hybrid
release
as
they
have
been
stuck
for
over
a
year.
The
source
added,
"Antim:
The
Final
Truth
reportedly
will
take
the
hybrid
release
route.
Meanwhile,
Maidaan
is
a
film
of
Zee
Studios
and
it
will
be
in
contention.
Apart
from
these,
a
couple
of
big-budgeted
South
films
might
also
be
interested."
Notably,
Anitm
stars
Salman
Khan
alongside
Aayush
Sharma,
and
is
directed
by
Mahesh
Manjrekar.
Meanwhile,
Maidaan
starring
Ajay
Devgn
is
a
period
sports
film
based
on
a
real-life
tournament,
directed
by
Amit
Sharma.
