Read on to know more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coronavirus crisis\nhas led to a situation like no other. The film business has suffered a mammoth\nloss with a no box-office show for the first time for a period of more than\nthree months. With uncertainty looming large over when theatres will reopen again,\nmajority of the producers are heading for direct OTT releases on various\nplatforms. The latest one to join the bandwagon is Mahesh Bhatt&#8217;s Sadak 2. The\nfilmmaker confirmed, in an interview to PTI, that releasing his film on a\nstreaming platform is the only option he his left with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said, &#8220;It\n(number of COVID-19 cases) is increasing day-by-day instead of subsiding. In\nthis situation do you think the theatres will open? And even if they do and\nSadak 2 is released, will people go to watch it? People have to protect their\nfamilies. Today, life is more important, I am compelled to come (on digital\nplatform) because I don\u2019t see any light in the near future. This is the best I\ncan do to survive. There are certain things that you do, not out of choice but out\nof compulsion. This is the only option left. It is a no-brainer.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, he added, that OTT releases are only a temporary phase. &#8220;Now that films are releasing on OTT, it doesn\u2019t mean theatres will shut down. People need outing, big screen entertainment is fun. It is a temporary phase. We need to understand it rationally and not blast or put each other down. We should lift each other up. I have got no option, so I will definitely consider OTT. We have not made this film to put it in lock and key. We want to bring it to people so that they enjoy the film,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BxmpQnzHvCm\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=12&amp;wp=798&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinkvilla.com&amp;rp=%2Fentertainment%2Fnews%2Falia-bhatt-starrer-sadak-2-take-ott-route-confirms-mahesh-bhatt-best-i-can-do-survive-545198#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1908.6950000200886%2C%22ls%22%3A546.5750000148546%2C%22le%22%3A637.5350000162143%7D\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"976\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mahesh Bhatt also\nrevealed that a two-day shoot for Sadak 2 is still in the pipeline.
