It was a collective call to wait for theatrical release: Monisha Advani on ‘Indoo Ki Jawani’

MUMBAI: Producer Monisha Advani is thrilled that her upcoming film “Indoo Ki Jawani”, featuring actor Kiara Advani, is getting a theatrical release as she says the team always wanted the audience to experience the movie on the big-screen.
Backed by Emmay Entertainment, T-Series and Electric Apples Entertainment, the comedy was earlier scheduled to release theatrically on June 5 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic as theatres remained shut across the country and worldwide for most part of the year.
For months, it was speculated that the Abir Sengupta-directed film might head to a streaming platform but it was ultimately announced that “Indoo Ki Jawani” would release theatrically on December 11.
Monisha Advani, co-founder of Emmay Entertainment, said that despite “intense” speculation, the team always wanted to stick to its plan of giving the film a big screen release.
“It was a collective call we took, between Bhushan Kumar, Nikkhil Advani and I, that we should try to hold on to it as long as we can. If there’s a glimmer of hope that we can take it to theatres, we should. And the moment we got that, we announced our film,” she said. (AGENCIES)
