MUMBAI: A few days ago, Shoojit Sircar announced that his next directorial project - Gulabo Sitabo - starring Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana will be releasing on the web. The film hits digital platforms on June 12, 2020. While the film was ready for a release in April itself, the lockdown led to the theatres being shut and movie shoots being stalled. 

Now, with the current scenario, it's unclear when things will get back to normal. In that situation, it was decided by the makers that they will indeed head towards an online release for the audience.

Shoojit opened up about making this choice and reveals, 'I made Gulabo Sitabo as a cinematic experience. It was the situation that called for a decision like this. So I experimented. I'm happy to do this experiment (of releasing the film online). Both Gulabo Sitabo and Udham Singh are cinematic experiences; nothing is less, nothing is more. It's all about creating good cinema.'

But after Gulabo Sitabo, is there a plan to also put out Udham Singh online or will they wait to give it a theatrical release? The director said, 'I have been working on one film at a time. One film recovers a little cost and that helps me move on to the next one. Udham Singh needs post production work which I'll start once I release Gulabo Sitabo. We regenerate employment that way. We still don't know which way we will go with Udham Singh at this point. There's work pending in the post production of the film which we need to complete first.'
