The third wave of the coronavirus pandemic derailed many upcoming films’ release plans, including Yash Raj Films’ much-awaited dacoit-drama Shamshera, produced by Aditya Chopra.

Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Vaani Kapoor, and Sanjay Dutt in lead roles, the film was set for its theatrical debut on March 18, 2022. However, some media outlets recently reported that the makers were planning to release it directly on an OTT platform, skipping a theatrical release.

When asked about the same, director Karan Malhotra told a publication, “This is completely my producer’s jurisdiction. He is the most active producer I have ever worked with, in my life. He knows best and I have left it completely up to him. He is the expert and I enjoy my creative space as far as Shamshera is concerned. I have made the film with all my sincerity and all the efforts that I could put in and the film is shaped out well. Now everything is up to Adi. How he wants to place it, what his planning is, everything is in his hands. I have given my best as a director and now I have the country’s best producer who is nurturing it further. What else could I have asked for?”

The filmmaker added that he too is looking forward to Shamshera. “I am looking forward to Shamshera too. I hope it releases soon, and all of us enjoy it and have a blast. To be honest, it is too premature to say anything about Shamshera right now, because, currently, we are in a state when times are so vulnerable and unpredictable. We have not even ventured out into the PR zone of the film yet. But when the time is right, we will talk about it for sure,” he concluded.
