These movies will start streaming in between July-October in the newly launched ‘Multiplex’ strand of the OTT platform.

Aahana Kumar spoke to Bollywood Bubble about the ongoing lockdown all over the country and how things have changed for her. Have a look:

Coming back to the ongoing controversy, before the announcement was made, Disney+Hotstar gave an invitation to stars like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan and Alia Bhatt for a virtual meeting where they released the posters of their upcoming movies. Vidyut called out the streamer saying that seven films are up for release on Disney+ Hotstar but only five are given chance to represent.

Aahana Kumra who also stars in ‘Khuda Haafiz’ was asked in an interview with Mid-day about their movie being sidelined from the virtual conference. To which she said, “I found out about the press conference after seeing Vidyut’s tweet. I have not bothered asking why I wasn’t informed. I know it won’t lead to an answer.”

Slamming the OTT platform, she said, “The OTT platforms I have worked with have been warm, professional and democratic in how they present you. They pride themselves in equal representation. This is the first time I have seen such behaviour.”

She also said, “Vidyut is an outsider who has made it on merit. We must support such talent considering it’s difficult to crack the industry in today’s times. Self-made people too deserved to be on this panel. We all should have been part of it.”
