According to a source report by Midday, “Akshay, director Raghava Lawrence and the producers are discussing the offer. There’s a lot of post-production work left on the movie, including editing, background music, mixing and VFX. Since the team is working from home, the process is taking longer than usual. However, the makers are hoping to have the film ready by June. Although currently, the lockdown is on till May 3, theatres may continue to remain closed to ensure social distancing. In such a scenario, the team may consider having a direct-to-web release.”

By looking at the current situation of the lockdown in India, no makers want to spoil their film by releasing it in theaters in 2020, especially the big films. If the Covid-19 continues to create problem for another few months, then there might not be any big releases till the end of the month. So, it might be a wise decision by the Laxxmi Bomb makers to release the film at online platform. Still, there are many questions that need to be answered! Will an OTT platform is ready to pay enough to recover the budget of the film which is certainly over 100 crores plus? Will everyone get their profit after releasing the film online? These are some important questions that need to be answered!

As, we all know, Laxxmi Bomb has a potential to cross 200 crores in theaters but will the makers wait till then is a big question? Still, there is no confirmation by the makers side and we should wait and watch!
