Actor Ishaan Khatter and Ananya Panday’s recent release Khaali Peeli is all set to become Bollywood’s first film to hit the theatres post a long hiatus due to the COVID-19 lockdown. The movie had first released on the pay-per-view streaming service Zee Plex on October 2. However, Khaali Peeli is not the only film that will release on October 16.
Theatres to reopen from October 15
Vijay Sethupathi’s Tamil political drama Ka Pae Ranasingam, too, will hit the theatres on the same day. Last month, the Ministry of Home Affairs allowed movie theatres to reopen in areas outside containment zones, with 50 per cent occupancy from October 15. More so, Khaali Peeli was also screened at drive-in theatres in Gurugram and Bengaluru.
