Varun Dhawan and Dad David Disagree About Releasing Coolie No 1 on OTT; Here’s Why

Many experts believed that since there are no new developments with vaccines, the likelihood of reopening cinemas remained low. With such dire situations, isn’t it better to release a film that’s just sitting in boxes on digital platforms?

Apparently, not everyone agrees on this solution. Like most parent-children relationships, David Dhavan and Varun Dhawan have starkly differing opinions on what to do with their film Coolie no. 1 that’s ready for audiences.

According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, like many other producers, producers Vashu Bhagnani and David wanted to debut Coolie no 1 on one of the popular OTT platforms. As of now, it seems like the most sensible solution. However, Varun doesn’t agree. He wants his film to feature on the big screen first, and then be given to these platforms or television later on.

According to Bollywood Hungama, Varun does not want to be labelled as an “OTT actor.” It is worth noting that seasoned actors like Manoj Bajpayee and Saif Ali Khan chose OTT ventures of their own volition, even before the pandemic. Fans and critics have appreciated their acting.
