'It's only fair...': Genelia D'Souza on Vidyut being snubbed at big OTT-announcement

The Coronavirus pandemic has affected the release calendar of Bollywood with producers looking at streaming platforms as an alternative. On Monday, Disney+ Hotstar announced premieres of 7 of the most-awaited movies of 2020. The virtual announcement event included Abhishek Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Ajay Devgn.

The OTT platform 'didn't invite or intimate' actors Kunal Kemmu and Vidyut Jammwal for the event which left the actors disappointed. Jammwal took to his Twitter handle and wrote, 'Long road ahead, the cycle continues'.

Reacting to this, actor Genelia D'Souza wrote, "Every film is made with a lot of love, a lot of sweat & a lot people giving it their all. Its only fair to want a little respect, its only fair to expect an invitation, its only fair to have at least been intimated.But then, sometimes even life is not fair. keep walking my friend. More power to you." [sic]

Sad for theatres, but fans' safety priority: Akshay Kumar on OTT release of 'Laxxmi Bomb' 

Izzat aur pyaar maanga nahi kamaya jaata hai. Koi na de toh usse hum chhote nahi hote. Bas maidaan khelne ke liye barabar de do chhalaang hum bhi oonchi laga sakte hai 🙏
