Shahid Kapoor On Bloody Daddy's OTT release: Exhibitors Wanted Theatrical Release

A few weeks ago, when Jio Studios announced its slate, they released a teaser of Shahid Kapoor starrer Bloody Daddy. The teaser received a fantastic response, and Shahid was seen in a never-seen-before role in it. 

The action-packed trailer of Shahid Kapoor's Bloody Daddy was released on May 24 and the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial will stream exclusively on Jio Cinema. Soon after the first teaser of the film was dropped a few weeks ago, a section of fans and moviegoers requested the makers to give Bloody Daddy a big screen release. Speaking of the same, during the trailer launch event, Shahid Kapoor stated that it was “designed for OTT.”

Shahid asserted, “I saw a lot of comments when the teaser came out and you know, why aren't you putting this out in the theatres? And trust me, we were all tempted. But this is designed for OTT, and it was meant to be for that kind of platform. So we're very very fortunate that this film will be coming out right after the IPL when all the eyeballs are on the Jio Cinema and can't wait to share the film with you guys.”

He concluded by adding, “This is the first time we showed the trailer. I'm so glad it was not on phone and it was a nice big screen because that's where it's fun to see an action film and I hope people would be watching it on the biggest possible TV back home.”

Speaking of the film, filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar said, “We see a lot of dark crime thrillers in the West, but hardly any in India that are made at that level and intensity. Bloody Daddy breaks all stereotypes right from Shahid's transformation into a 'killing machine' to being one of the first direct-to-OTT films to be created at this grand scale! Bloody Daddy is a hard-hitting out-and-out dark action thriller that promises raw and real action,” in a statement.
