Akshay Kumar's Laxmmi Bomb may not take the straight-to-digital route May 25, 2020 at 12:30PM

It seems the Akshay Kumar starrer Laxmmi Bomb, which was being mentioned as one of the pending releases to go on the OTT platform, may not take the straight-to-digital route.

Akshay Kumar's Laxmmi Bomb may not take the straight-to-digital route

Apparently, the film’s team of helmers has been brainstorming over the matter. They have concluded that putting an Akshay Kumar film on the OTT platform may harm the theatrical prospects of other big-budgeted films, including other Akshay starrers, once the lockdown is lifted.

Says a source close to the development, “Akshay Kumar is one the 4 top actors in Bollywood. If a film starting AK goes to the digital platform, then the movie exhibition business is doomed. We will never be able to entice audiences back to the theatres.”

In addition, it must be noted that Akshay has another big project Sooryavanshi awaiting release. If Laxmmi Bomb goes on the OTT platform, it will adversely affect the box-office potential of Sooryavanshi which is most definitely not going digital.

In the light of these considerations, the dialogue for a digital release of Laxmmi Bomb is likely to be terminated.

SCOOP: Filmfare Awards, Screen Awards, Zee Cine Awards won't take place next year? November 25, 2020 at 11:19AM

The beginning of a new year brings a lot of positivity and hope, and also ushers in the awards season. However, 2021 might be an exception in this regard. The Coronavirus pandemic has led to a lot of change in the status quo of all fields and Bollywood is no exception. With the disease still not in control, the battle against the virus will continue in 2021 as well. And this would mean the awards ceremony, televised to a million viewers globally, might not happen at all. A source claims, “The major award shows like Filmfare Awards, Screen Awards, Zee Cine Awards etc might not take place in 2021. These ceremonies involve celebrities from all walks of lives congregating in huge numbers at a particular venue. In times of social distancing, that won’t be a practical thing to do. And most importantly, there have hardly been any releases in 2020. After March 13, there has been no major release in the post-lockdown period. Only Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari released in this season and a couple of ...
