Reports of Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi skipping a theatrical release and heading straight to OTT have been dispelled by a source close to the project.
A source quoted by Bollywood Hungama dismissed speculation about the film bypassing a theatrical release and heading straight to an OTT platform.
Salman continues to be a mega star, and he has mounted Maatrubhumi on a grand scale. It’s a film for the big screen, and hence, he and director Apoorva Lakhia are committed to releasing the film theatrically once the issues surrounding the film are resolved.
Every film that releases directly on streaming platforms also goes through the certification process, just like any theatrical film. So, even for a direct-to-OTT premiere, the government must clear the film before it can be presented to the public.
