But will the movie based on freedom fighter also get a digital release? Speaking about this with Zoom TV Digital, he said, "rankly speaking at this moment I don't want to think about it because I don't want to create a panic in my head by speaking about it. But, I started post production. It's still not full-fledged in terms of speed because of the lockdown and all the guidelines and everything. So, I think still are process will be slow. So, you can understand that already we are late (in post-production) by four months. If we will continue with this speed, our productivity will also will be low. So, I don't know if I will be able to meet the deadline of January (2021 release of the film)."
On the other hand, Gulabo Sitabo, as expected, received rave reviews from the critics. The trailer had already impressed the fans as well. Now, those who watched it as soon as it the hit the streaming platform, they are mighty impressed with it too. Coming back to Sardar Udham Singh, would you prefer an OTT release or a theatrical one?
