Yes,
you
read
it
right.
Even
though
Ayushmann
Khurrana
and
Amitabh
Bachchan
were
the
first
two
actors,
whose
film
Gulabo
Sitabo
was
released
on
an
OTT
platform
owing
to
the
ongoing
novel
Coronavirus
pandemic,
we
hear
that
Ayushmann
is
adamant
that
his
upcoming
projects
release
in
theatres.
According
to
latest
reports,
we
hear
that
Ayushmann
came
on-board
for
Chandigarh
Kare
Aashiqui
after
signing
a
clause
that
the
film
will
not
have
a
digital
release,
irrespective
of
the
situation.
"In
today's
uncertain
environment,
a
lot
of
films
are
taking
the
direct
to
digital
route
and
Ayushmann
wants
to
be
sure
of
what
he
is
signing
up
for.
Hence,
he
along
with
his
team
have
devised
a
plan
to
clearly
bifurcate
between
OTT
and
theatrical
content
before
coming
on
board
a
film.
His
contract
for
Chandigarh
Kare
Aashiqui
assures
a
theatrical
release.
The
idea
is
to
know
what
he
is
signing
in
for,
and
decide
on
the
content
based
on
the
medium
of
showcasing," revealed
a
trade
source
to
Pinkvilla.
The
source
further
revealed
that
Ayushmann
isn't
against
digital
release,
but
he
wants
to
bifurcate
contents
as
per
digital
and
theatrical
releases.
The
source
further
added,
"Although
Gulabo
Sitabo
was
the
first
film
to
arrive
in
the
digital
world,
he
is
now
clear
on
bifurcating
between
the
two
content.
While
he
is
open
to
be
a
digital
star
too,
he
wants
to
know
the
platform
of
showcasing
before
joining
the
gang.
Only
after
being
on
the
same
page
regarding
the
release
plan
of
Chandigarh
Kare
Aashiqui
did
he
come
on
board
the
film.
At
this
point
of
time,
it's
gearing
up
for
a
theatrical
release
in
June."
For
the
unversed,
reportedly,
Ayushmann
will
portray
the
role
of
a
cross
functional
athlete,
whereas
his
co-star
Vaani
Kapoor
will
play
the
role
of
a
transgender
in
the
film.
The
film
is
helmed
by
Abhishek
Kapoor,
and
is
expected
to
release
in
2021.
