Bawaal: Real reason why Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor film is releasing on OTT and not in theaters

Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan’s Bawaal trailer was launched at an event in Dubai on July 9. Ahead of the launch, when the trailer was released digitally it received a great response from the masses.

Sajid Nadiawala added that Bawaal’s director, Nitesh Tiwari, the film’s cast, including Varun Dhawan, accompanied by the others associated with Bawaal, had given a green signal for the film to have an OTT release, especially since they partnered with such a “great” platform like Amazon. “They were so overwhelmed to see this film being released in 200 countries and not a better partner than them,” he said.

Nitesh Tiwari, much to our excitement, shelled out some instances of what we can expect from Bawaal. The filmmaker admitted that Bawaal is not a quintessential Indian film, claiming that it will serve the audience a rollercoaster ride of emotions. From the jitters to a lovely romance and the pain of going apart, Bawaal is embedded with such sensibilities, that according to Nitesh Tiwari, would “leave an indelible mark on your hearts and mind.” He also praised Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan for portraying their roles flawlessly.
