Mumbai, Jan 4: Ranveer Singh starrer 83 was one of the most-awaited movies of 2021. But unfortunately, the makers are now mulling over the decision to release this sports drama earlier on OTT amid rise in Covid-19. The Delhi government ordered to shut down the theatres and multiplexes on December 28 to prevent the rise in Covid-19 cases after the capital started recording major spikes in the coronavirus cases. The director revealed, “This film was ready with us 18 months ago. We wanted people to see it on the big screen because that is how it was designed. But, such are the times that we live in. We tried hard to acquire a safe spot for the film, but the day of its release, there was a spike in cases. By day four, Delhi theatres had shut down.” Kabir Khan further spoke about his team revisiting their decision of releasing the film on OTT platforms, “We don’t know if we will have to shut down tomorrow, or will be afforded another five to six days. If further restrictions are imposed, we will release the film on the web, soon. But, I am keen [that] people take precaution and go to the theatres to watch it.”
