Randeep Hooda and Salman Khan’s Radhe will be releasing tomorrow in a unique hybrid model. The film will premiere in theatres all over the world and will also stream on ZEE5’s pay-per-view platform Zee Plex. This is the first time that’s actually being tested and Randeep in an interview with Indian Express said that Salman’s movie is the best bid when it comes to testing the new approach of releasing movies.

“It will be a good experiment for the industry to have this hybrid kind of platform release where people who are unable to get to theatres can watch it. It is also a cheaper option since instead of buying one ticket per person, the entire family can watch it. What better film to test the whole system with than a Salman Khan film. I’m hoping it will do well,” he said. 

This is Randeep’s third collaboration with Salman. The two have previously worked together in Kick and Sultan. “I chased him in Kick, I coached him in Sultan and I am testing him in Radhe,” shared Randeep. 

The film is releasing in COVID times and Randeep added that he does feel a little guilty as he has been promoting the movie but he added that this is also paying money to employees who are attached to the project. 

Randeep added that he hopes Radhe “has the same fate” as Extraction as the Chris Hemsworth film worked wonders for Netflix. 

He said, “I hope this film has the same fate, a lot more people watch it and can take their minds off from the morose situation that’s going on. Because coming at this point, with the promotions, I also feel a little guilty that all those things are happening but one keeps doing other things to help out. This is also a part of one’s job, it also employs 500 people who have come together and made this film which has been in the box for a long time and I’m glad it’s coming out.”
