Salman Khan's Radhe will release on OTT and in theatres simultaneously

Salman Khan’s Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai will be the first big Bollywood film opting for a multi-platform release. The movie will hit theatres, TV and on OTT platforms simultaneously, on May 13.

The makers of Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai confirmed the multi-platform release through a poster on social media with the caption, “Bhai Ka Commitment, Eid Pe Entertainment.”

A spokesperson from Salman Khan Films said, “It’s imperative that we all come together and think of out-of-the-box solutions for cinema as an industry during the current pandemic situation. We will support the theatre owners by releasing the film in as many theatres as we can, keeping in line with the rules and protocols laid down by the government. But, considering the guidelines and safety measures, we also need to devise ways to ensure that the film reaches all of our audience. We don't want to deny the audience the choice of entertainment in the comfort of their homes during these times."

Apart from theatres and on ZEEPLEX, the pay-per-view service of OTT platform ZEE5, the movie has also partnered with DishTV, Tata Sky and Airtel Digital TV for streaming it on television.

Directed by Prabhudheva, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai also stars Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda and Jackie Shroff in pivotal roles. Jacqueline Fernandez will also be seen in a cameo role. The trailer of the movie is set to be released on April 22.

The movie is releasing after a year’s delay. Recent reports suggested that Radhe could be further delayed but the makers have now decided to stick with this year, much to the relief of Khan’s fans.

Apart from Radhe, Khan has Kick 2, Tiger Zinda Hai sequel, Dancing Dad and Antim: The Final Truth coming up. The actor also has a cameo in Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha and Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathan.
