Shoojit Sircar contemplating a digital release for Gulabo Sitabo

The world is not going to be the same again even after the Coronavirus pandemic becomes a thing of the past in times to come. It has impacted every part of our lives in an indecipherable and unprecedented manner. Bollywood is also bracing itself for a huge change in months to come.

Several filmmakers have already started thinking as how to reach the maximum number of audiences with their films amid Coronavirus restrictions. Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar’s upcoming film Gulabo Sitabo, featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana in lead roles, was set for release but is facing delays due to the Coronavirus lockdown.


The renowned director has now confirmed that he will take a decision on whether to release the film digitally or theatrically after the current lockdown comes to an end in India on 3rd May 2020. Gulabo Sitabo was earlier expected to enter theatres on 17th April but has been put on hold until further notice.

“As a filmmaker, I would want to see my film open in the theatres, but the situation today is unlike anything anyone had ever experienced. So, I am open to a digital release if need be, but we will take a decision after May 3,” Shoojit Sircar told a popular publication.

Gulabo Sitabo, which is set in Lucknow, brings together Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana for the first time. Sharing his excitement of working with the legendary actor, Khurrana had earlier said, "Bachchan sir is amazing. What I marvel about him is that he is so well prepared always. He will know your lines also. It is not easy to act in front of him. You have to be on your toes as a co-actor."
