Chehre Postponed: Producer Anand Pandit Speaks

 The inevitable has  happened.  The  release of   the Rumi Jaffrey-directed suspense thriller Chehre has been postponed  indefinitely from its  scheduled April 9 release.

 Considering the  Covid19  situation  will Chehre be  diverted to the  OTT  platform? Producer Anand Pandit  shoots down the possibility.  “At present we are not looking at OTT. This film is a 70 mm experience for cinema lovers.My other  production The  Big Bull  is designed  for the  OTT platform.Every  film has its own destiny.”

  What is Anand’s  advice  to other producers  holding on  to their products for release  in theatres?  “Every producer  is in  a  different situation. It may not be correct for me to give  advice.Some producers   may be  stuck in  financial pressures and some are pressurized by  deadlines of Satellite/OTT   platforms. But for Chehre  I would prefer to wait for some time till the  situation is conducive for cinema goers  to return to movie theatres.”
