Given the fact that the pandemic may certainly not be easing down anytime soon, the uncertainty of the future of a bundle of films is more prevalent than ever. And amidst all this, if there is one conversation that has been going on around with a lot of films is that if these films can be released digitally. It has been made clear by the makers of a film like 83' that their film won't be releasing digitally and many debate how big films might also not take the same route but questions have raised on the fate of smaller films.
Rumors have been circling around that the already-much delayed Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar starring Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra might finally make up for a release digitally. None other than Kapoor himself opened up on the possibility of the same in a conversation with Pinkvilla, where he said, "I'm not involved in the selling and buying of any of my films. My producers are more involved with that bit. That is a reality for certain films that might choose that path. I don't see anything wrong with that. Entertainment is a part of distraction in this reality which is very sad. We are supposed to make people happy and smile. As an artist, if you look at the purity of it right now, the medium is not important. Getting your material out there is important. And for that, if certain films have to be released on digital, I don't see anything wrong in it."
Talking about big-budgeted films, he said, “Certain films can't afford to come on digital because their costs are too high and India doesn't have that subscription base. The masses are still not into consuming content digitally. When you talk about big money-spinners like a WAR, Uri, Tanhaji or a Kabir Singh, you won't get those numbers from digital. Like a Sooryvanshi is cinematic, so you can't expect a film like that to come on digital. But that doesn't mean that every film will wait it out.”
