John Abraham is ready to wait for a theatrical release of Mumbai Saga & Attack

Because of the pandemic situation in the country, many of the big films opted for an OTT release. First it was Gulabo Sitabo, then Shakuntala Devi and then recently it was Gunjan Saxena – The Kargil Girl. Soon there will be biggies like Sadak 2, Laxmmi Bomb and Bhuj – The Pride of India that will be released digitally. There were of course dozens of other that choose this route. And it seems like OTT has become a trend to release big budgeted films too.

However John Abraham is seemingly unperturbed with the current trend and is happy to wait to see a theatrical release of  a couple of movies that are in advanced staged of production, Mumbai Saga and Attack. Former is almost complete with just a week of shooting left in Mumbai, whereas the latter has some action sequences left to be shot.

According to the information of a source “Temptations are always there but John has always been cool minded. He would rather bring a film of his in theaters even if it does lesser than usual business due to Covid, instead of opting for a small screen OTT arrival where people are having a casual watch. There is a different high altogether when someone buys a ticket to watch a film. John is aware of that sentiment. He has seen that very recently with films where masses [Satyameva Jayate] as well as classes [Batla House] have endorsed him. Why would be go any different?”
