Multiplex theaters across India will not screen Khaali Peeli as it came on OTT

 


 The National chains will not be screening Khaali Peeli in their cinemas. It is because the film is already released on OTT PPV (Pay Per View) format by Zee. This comes as a suprise as exhibitors were open to screening films that were released in OTT. Industry feels that this hardening of stance is after the producers decided that no new releases will pay the virtaul print fee to the service providers and this means that the theaters will have to bear the cost. .

The reason for not screening is if one of the film is screened it would set the trend of screening the film simultaneously on OTT and theater, which they don’t want to get it set. Hence any films that’s going to premiere on OTT first wouldn’t be having a theatrical release like upcoming films including Akshay Kumar’s Laxmmi Bomb, Abhishek Bachchan’s Bhuj, Alia Bhatt’s Sadak 2, etc.

Also, similar thought has been taken by most of Single Screen holders and Independent Cinema chains of not screening the OTT films and supporting the theatrical norms which is been set from a long time now. Hence, mostly Khaali Peeli would be shown at very few screens as per sources.

It is a directed by Maqbool Khan. It is produced by Ali Abbas Zafar with Zee Studios and Himanshu Mehra. The film also features Jaideep Ahlawat as the baddie.
