While makers of several films like Sardar Udham and Rashmi Rocket decided to go ahead with a scheduled OTT release despite the government having announced the reopening of theatres, Blind director Sujoy Ghosh has decided to revisit his plan. The Sonam Kapoor Ahuja starrer was to initially mark her web debut, but Ghosh admits that the team is now uncertain about their decision.

He tells mid-day, &ldquo;We will decide [the further course of action] next month. At the end of the day, we all make movies for the big screen, right? That&rsquo;s a high for a filmmaker. We have been thinking about [going ahead with] a theatrical release, but one doesn&rsquo;t always get what they want. Suddenly, there is a plethora of films coming in. Shelf space is an issue. There is a list of movies lined up for release.&nbsp;
Now, who has the income to watch four films a week? Many have been unemployed in the past year, and watching movies at a multiplex with the family can be an expensive [affair].&rdquo; Directed by Shome Makhija, Blind revolves around a visually impaired police cadet (played by Kapoor), who uses her senses to find a killer. The action-thriller, also featuring Vinay Pathak, Purab Kohli and Lillete Dubey, was shot in a start-to-finish schedule from December 2020, in Glasgow, Scotland. It was wrapped up in February this year.&nbsp; Talking about collaborating with Kapoor, Ghosh says, &ldquo;Sonam is a brilliant actress, and is wonderful to work with.&rdquo;
