‘Gulabo Sitabo’ set for June 12 world premiere on Amazon Prime Video

TIL Desk Bollywood/ It’s official. Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana starrer “Gulabo Sitabo” is heading for a direct digital release on Amazon Prime Video, the makers announced on Thursday.

Directed by Shoojit Sircar, the Lucknow-set satire will start streaming from June 12 worldwide. “Gulabo Sitabo” is a quirky tale of two slimy scheming foxes — a landlord and tenant — in a game of one upmanship.

A Rising Sun Films Production, the movie was ready for an April release but owing to the coronavirus-induced shutdown the filmmakers decided to take the digital route. Sircar said he is happy that the film, penned by frequent collaborator Juhi Chaturvedi, will finally release.
