On October 25, Salman Khan and Aayush Sharma unveiled the much awaited Antim trailer at an event in Mumbai.

Bollywood Hungama has learnt that Zee Studios will be associated with the film as a distributor.

Zee Studios to release Salman Khan and Aayush Sharma's Antim worldwide on commission basis

"Antim and Radhe were sold in a packaged deal, however, once cinema halls reopened, the deal was renegotiated as Salman Khan was keen to bring Antim only on the big screen. After several rounds of discussions, Zee has decided to release the film as a distributor across the globe on a commission basis. They will be charging approximately 8% to 10% standard commission meaning, take away 8% to 10% of the distributor share leaving the rest for SKF," a trade source informed Bollywood Hungama.

That's not all; Zee is also affiliated with the project as the satellite, digital and music partner. "Zee will release the film on Zee 5 four weeks after it's theatrical release and then gear up for a television premiere after 8 weeks on Zee Cinema," the source added. While there were conversations earlier on outright sale, it was unanimously decided to opt for a revenue share model to avoid putting undue pressure on the film.

"Salman understands the dynamics of business and doesn't want anyone to risk their money. In the uncertain market, he wanted to bring the film to the cinema halls and at the same time make sure no one loses money and hence, he decided to go ahead with a revenue sharing deal for theatrical release. He is confident that the film's content will appeal all across and bring back the audience on the big screen. This is primarily the reason why he decided on a theatrical release even after zeroing in and completing all formalities of an OTT premiere on Zee 5."

Antim is directed by Mahesh Manjrekar.

The city of Patna boycotts Salman Khan over actor's suicide June 23, 2020 at 10:50AM

Patna-born Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput has attained a much larger stardom after his sudden and shocking suicide on June 14, than before. While his death has triggered off a massive outrage against the spirit of nepotism that prevails in Mumbai’s film industry, the ramifications of the tragedy can be felt and heard far and wide across India. In Patna, the capital city of Bihar where Rajput was born, the people have taken a vow to ban superstar Salman Khan, filmmaker Karan Johar and actress Alia Bhatt as these are seen to be emblems of the clannish culture in Mumbai that prevented Sushant Singh Rajput from realizing his full potential in Hindi cinema. Since Sunday Bihar has been plunged into a state of relentless grief and anger over the death of their star-son Rajput who ended his life at the age of 34, allegedly because of what has come to be known as the ‘nepo(tism) gang’ in Mumbai. On Thursday hordes of young Rajput fans in Patna marched to Salman Khan’s Being Human clothes...
