Bollywood filmmakers are juggling with the dates in order to release their films, as the pan India lockdown has been imposed in the outbreak of COVID-19. While several filmmakers kept their films on hold, few have already postponed the release dates of their films. The makers of Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana starrer, ‘Gulabo Sitabo’ have decided to take advantage of the OTT platform in the lockdown. The film will be now released on Amazon Prime.
Earlier, there were reports that the makers of the film have already sold the rights to Amazon Prime Videos. However, it was not clear whether these were the film’s release right. Now, Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana both took to their social media handles and announced the release date of the film. The film will premiere June 12 on Amazon Prime Video.

As per a report in Pinkvilla, while talking about the film, Amitabh Bachchan said, “Gulabo Sitabo is a slice of life, a dramedy that is a must-watch for families at home. I was excited about my role since the first time Shoojit showed me the character’s look. It took me almost 3 hours each day to get into character with its different looks. I had a wonderful time working with my very talented co-star Ayushmann Khurrana. Even though we are constantly bantering in the film, it has been a pleasure working with him for the first time. This family entertainer has the power to cut across geographic boundaries and we are pleased to bring Gulabo Sitabo to audiences across the globe.”
Further, Ayushmann extended his opinion on the film and said, “Gulabo Sitabo is a special film for me. It made me reunite with my mentor Shoojit da after Vicky Donor. Whatever I’m today is because of him and I’m happy that he made me a part of his vision again. Gulabo Sitabo also sees me share the screen space with Mr. Amitabh Bachchan for the first time and it’s a huge moment, it’s a dream come true for me. I have secretly wished to work with him for many, many years and Shoojit da made this happen and I will be indebted to him forever. It has truly been an honour for me to work with a legend and I feel enriched as an actor after the experience. What I love about the film is its sheer simplicity – the fleeting moments of simple humour in the banter between a landlord and tenant makes this film really special. I hope audiences love the film and our chemistry when it premieres.”
