Uunchai OTT release delayed, Parineeti Chopra urges everyone to watch films in theatres

Te makers of Uunchai announced on Tuesday that they want Uunchai to have long run in theatres, which was spurred on by the great response to the movie. The Rajshri Productions movie, which released on November 11, continues to run in cinema halls in its fourth week. Uunchai, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, and Danny Denzongpa, is said to have made more than Rs 30 crore at the box office.

The cast and crew of the Hindi-language adventure drama thanked everyone for the outpouring of support in a message posted by Parineeti Chopra on Instagram. “A special shoutout to every member of the audience who went to the theatre with family and loved ones and contributed to making Uunchai an exclusive BIG screen experience."

“As Uunchai continues to run in theatres in its 4th week, we as a unit stand proud and humbled. It is the desire of our hearts to see Uunchai have a strong and long run at the theatres and therefore, Uunchai will not have an online release very soon,” the statement read.

They said that seven years of dedication, effort, and devotion went into creating Uunchai. After directing Prem Ratan Dhan Payo in 2015, director Sooraj Barjatya is back with a film about four friends in their golden years. The team continued, "robbing" oneself of a fantastic experience by watching a pirated copy, postponing watching, or waiting for the movie to stream online.

“So, step out today, go to a theatre near you. Take family and friends along. Relive the experience of buying tickets. Celebrate Uunchai, celebrate films and theatres again with movie lovers known and unknown! Fill up the theatres with your love for films! As makers, your entertainment is our only motivation. See you at the theatres!” the statement concluded.

Uunchai, which is directed by Sooraj Barjatya, is co-produced by Mahaveer Jain Films, Boundless Media, and Rajshri Productions. The movie's announcement in October 2021 drew attention right away because fans had been impatiently waiting for a masterpiece from the reputable production company. Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Danny Denzongpa, Neena Gupta, Sarika, Parineeti Chopra, and other well-known actors are among the cast members of Uunchai.
