MUMBAI: Ajay Devgan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Rakul Preet Singh starrer Runway 34 suddenly find itself the topic of hit conversation. With the Omicron variant of COVID-19 shutting down cinema halls in key markets, there has been a lot of talk about whether Runway 34 will opt directly for a digital release.

Reputed film exhibitor and distributor Akshaye Rathi opined that they've (the trade) has heard nothing to this effect so far, but it would be very disappointing were it to happen because of the fact that after a huge blockbuster like Tanhaji (in theatres), a superstar like Ajay Devgn shouldn't have two back-to-back OTT releases (there was already Bhuj: The Pride of India).
Akshaye Rathi added that the OTT release is also not likely to happen because Ajay himself is an exhibitor and understands the need of the hour.

Tiger Shroff starrer Heropanti 2 is also slated for release on the same day as Runway 34 and it would send out a very wrong signal if the latter, which is headlined by two huge stars like Ajay Devgan and Amitabh Bachchan, would be seen bowing out of the race. So, Akshaye has his fingers crossed that both big movies, featuring big stars, arrive in theatres to light up the extended Eid weekend this year.
