On Thursday, the government of India released new guidelines for Unlock 5.0 which will allow cinema halls/theatres, entertainment parks, swimming pools to resume with 50% capacity from October 15. Now, a new report suggests, Kiara Advani and Aditya Seal starrer Indoo Ki Jawani to be the first Hindi film to release in the cinema halls.
According to a report in Pinkvilla, Christopher Nolan’s Tenet will be the first movie in Hollywood film, Vijay starrer Master will be the first South film, whereas, in Bollywood, it will be Kiara Advani’s upcoming film. “Tenet has been ready, and the team of Master was also prepared to release as soon as the news came. So they are locked. Among the Bollywood films, Nikkhil Advani did a smart thing by not selling his next production venture Indoo Ki Jawaani, to any of the online giants. They aren’t bound by contract. They just released a song and a few promos but none of it had a mention of the release. Now, with Unloke 5, the Kiara Advani starrer will be the first major film starring an A-list actor that will release in theatres for sure.”
The report further states, “It will also help the other producers test the water in a way. Indoo Ki Jawaani is a small budgeted film that has already recovered its costs. Plus, the 50% occupancy won’t make much of a difference to it, since a film in this space would have found it difficult to have a higher occupancy, even with full 100% capacity. So, Indoo Ki Jawaani has got the best bet for sure. Apart from that, even Jayantilal Gada plans to release their next film titled Flight, which stars newcomers in the cinemas.”
The film is directed by Abir Sengupta and produced by Bhushan Kumar and Nikkhil Advani under their respective banners T-Series and Emmay Entertainment.
