‘Chhalaang’, a Hansal Mehta directorial, starring Rajkummar Rao and Nushrat Bharucha, will now be the latest movie to join the OTT league. The Deccan Chronicle recently reported that, due to the COVID pandemic the movie will be releasing on Amazon Prime Video and will skip the wait for a theatrical release.
The movie was announced in the year 2018, and had already delayed the release to January 2020. Then, the release date was postponed to March 2020. Even that couldn’t happen, since the lockdown was announced leading it to the shutdown of theatres and cinema halls.
Aseem Arora, the writer of the film, earlier claimed that the film was titled as ‘Turram Khan’ and and starred Rajkummar Rao as a physical training instructor. The plot of the film was all about sports and education. The writer had quoted, “It’s about sports and education. Rajkummar Rao is a physical training instructor in a school in a small town in Haryana. It’s about the coming-of-age of this man and how he trains the kids. He is not serious about his job initially, but one event makes him realise how sports and education should go hand-in-hand as they have the same values. These values should be instilled in every child, who will then be empowered to take on the world.”
After ‘Ludo’, ‘Chhalaang’ will be Rajkummar’s second movie to release on a digital platform. However, the release date of the film has not been confirmed yet.
