Kunal Kemmu, Best Actor (Film) nominee at the mid-day and Radio City Hitlist OTT Awards, says Lootcase would have acquired as much acclaim as it did, had it released in theatres instead of on the digital platform

Kunal Kemmu in Lootcase
"Box office could be quite a gamble. Lootcase, had it released in theatres, could`ve been a dark horse that would have picked up due to word of mouth and become a sleeper hit," starts off Kunal Kemmu, as we sit down over a Zoom call to discuss his much-loved comic caper from 2020. We start off with a discussion on whether the film would`ve perished far too easily had it opened in theatres. Like Kemmu says, one would never know what could`ve been the fate of the film. But the reality remains that the film was amongst the most-loved offerings of the year, showing the audience a good time in a year that was largely sombre The actor has been nominated in the Best Actor (Film) category at Mid-day and Radio city, Hitlist OTT Awards.
Kemmu says that though it was a film that had a seen-before vibe, its simplicity was charming. "A common man finding a bag of money is a story that`s been told quite a few times. But writing is unadulteratedly funny. My character`s relationship with the bag stood out on paper as well. The beauty of this film is that the right kind of people got together to make the right film."
