The country is facing the second wave of corona virus. The release schedule of many films has been affected due to this epidemic of Corona. In view of the current situation, the makers are now giving priority to digital release instead of theatrical release of films. Now information is coming out that Siddharth Malhotra’s war drama film Shershah will be released directly on the OTT platform instead of theatre. The makers have taken this decision due to the Corona epidemic.

According to the report, Siddharth’s film Sher Shah can now be released directly on the OTT platform instead of theatres.
