Filmmaker Anurag Basu was gearing up for the release of his film Ludo which is an anthology starring Abhishek Bachchan, Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Fatima Sana Shaikh. But the film has been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Recently, while talking about the current scenario, Basu told PTI, "The cinema and entertainment world will be defined as 'pre-corona and post-corona' era. Storytelling will change and there will be some people, who are getting used to watching stuff on OTT, so that may take the front seat now. I believe now corona will become the backdrop and subject for many films for years to come till the world sees the next big crisis.”
Ludo was slated to release on 24th April 2020, but now, Basu is not sure what will be the new release date of the movie. He said, "We were all ready and geared up for the April 24 release. Looking at the current scenario, I'm not expecting Ludo to hit the theatres soon. As soon as we decide our date we will launch our trailer. Earlier we were supposed to launch it with Sooryavashi release."
We know that now as the release dates of many films would be pushed there would be many clashes taking place. But Basu feels that the producers should discuss and not fight for dates. The filmmaker said, "I hope all the producers discuss what works best for each of them and not fight for dates or cut into each other's business. If we are together, we can manage."
