The trailer of Bloody Daddy was launched today at an event in Mumbai. Shahid Kapoor, Ali Abbas Zafar and producer Himanshu were present at the event.
The trailer of Bloody Daddy is a treat for action lovers. The film has reminded us of Hollywood action flick John Wick. The film is an official adaptation of the French Film titled Sleepless Night which was released in 2011.
After the trailer was launched Ali Abbas Zafar and Shahid Kapoor discussed why the film opted for an OTT release instead of Theatrical release.
Shahid while speaking about the same said, “A lot of people wanted this film to be out in theaters. In fact, many distributors and exhibitors called us about it but we stuck to what we truly had envisioned for this film, which was creating a big screen experience for the OTT platform.”
Ali Abbas Zafar while stating the reason for why did Bloody Daddy opt for an OTT release instead of releasing it in theaters said, “As a filmmaker, you want your content to get watched. And OTT is a platform where a lot of people come in and watch. The content that you watch here is a personal viewing. Making a film for the OTT does not mean that the team has compromised on the production value of the project. Actually it becomes an added responsibility as a maker that the content you’re bringing on an OTT platform needs to look more international because your viewership is more international.”
He further added by saying, “Also, it needs a reason to come on an OTT platform. The cinematic language for an OTT platform is different as compared to a theatrical movie. This film is primarily dealing with drugs, there’s gore, blood and a certain language people are speaking. And that was very important as it is what grounds those characters in that world. If I had tampered with those elements, then I would not have been honest with the story. I would have told myself that let’s go to the theaters. So Shahid and I were very clear that we will make this movie for OTT and let’s go 100 percent realistic with it.”
Bloody Daddy is directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and stars Shahid Kapoor in the lead role. The film also stars Diana Penty, Ronit Bose Roy, Sanjay Kapoor and Rajeev Khandelwal. The film will be available on Jio Cinema from 9th June for free.
