Even as anticipation surrounds the theatrical release of Aamir Khan's film Laal Singh Chaddha, the star has made it clear that he is in no particular hurry to stream the movie on over the top (OTT) platforms. While most films release on OTT soon after they hit the cinema houses, Khan is not in favour of an early OTT release for his release.
"One of the reasons primarily I think the curiosity of going to theaters has reduced because films come on OTT right after they come in theaters, they come on OTT very fast," said Khan. "So I have always tried to keep a six-month gap for my films. I don't know what the industry follows, but I like to keep a six-month gap. So that's what I tried to do for all my films and up till now, we have managed that."
Laal Singh Chaddha, produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Kiran Rao, and Viacom18 Studios, also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Naga Chaitanya. It is an official remake of Forrest Gump and will release on August 11.
