 'Come to the theatre and show your...'

Veteran filmmaker David Dhawan, who has delivered memorable films like Partner, Shola Aur Shabnam, Bol Radha Bol, Saajan Chale Sasural, Raja Babu, Judwaa and many others, recently took a dig at OTT actors and films.

The veteran director challenged the actors to do a theatrical release and show their worth. “I tell this to every actor. Why do you want to play so safe with OTT where you don’t even know how much a project has worked? Theatre mein aao, apni aukaat dikhao tum. (Come to the theatre and show your worth),” David said in a chat with Arbaaz Khan.

“These actors are scared. They will not do a theatre film. They are scared of the bloody media. I remember the claps and cheers that the dialogues in our films would get in theatres. There’s nothing like it,” he added.

“Real appreciation and validation come from theatres. Anyone can do OTT. There’s a safety mesh over there,” the filmmaker asserted.

Interestingly, David Dhawan’s last directorial Coolie No 1 featuring Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan released on Prime Video as it was stuck due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As per reports, David Dhawan’s next titled Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has already begun its shooting in an undisclosed location. The film reportedly features Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur and Sreeleela in prominent roles.
