    In fact, two of the most-anticipated films of this year, Ludo and Jhund might just directly land at your homes.

  • Quoting a source, Bollywood Hungama reported that Amazon's streaming arm Prime Video has acquired the rights of both the upcoming movies.

    Now, the streamer will soon release them.

    "Both films are T-Series productions and given the extended lockdown period, the makers felt it was better to release [them] on the streaming service rather than wait for a theatrical release," the source informed the publication.

    'Filmmakers are faced with a hard choice'

  • "Today, filmmakers are faced with a hard choice. With theaters being shut, a major chunk of revenue has been axed. Hence, filmmakers are forced to search for different avenues to recover costs, and one way is with a direct release on OTT," the source added.
