The Big Bull

One wonders how Director Kookie Gulati will handle the 'scam' that Hansal Mehta brought alive on screen so well with Scam: 1992.

Abhishek Bachchan looks good in the trailer.

Interestingly, Ajay Devgn backs this film.

The film was among the first to be announced for an OTT release last year, and it's the right decision at a time when the theatrical business is uncertain.

 

Hello Charlie

Aadar Jain returns on the big screen after making his debut with Yash Raj Films' Qaidi Band in 2017.

Hello Charlie is set to be a light-hearted prelude to Farhan's hard-hitting Toofan, which will be Excel Entertainment's next release on the OTT platform.
