In an interview given to a tabloid, Ali shared, "Yes, I am creating a superhero universe, beginning with Katrina’s film. We then move to Mr India, which will carry forward bits from Katrina’s film, and we are developing two more characters. My third superhero is rooted in Indian mythology and the fourth one is on an army officer."
Now, the latest report suggests that the big budgeted film is being planned for a direct-to-OTT release. A source said, "The superheroine film starring Katrina will mostly be her big digital debut. The film is being mounted on a lavish scale, and the team has struck a deal with Netflix with this being the first part of the franchise to be premiered on the digital platform. It won't have a theatrical release, but will be made for the web." The source further adds, "Katrina is very kicked about the idea behind the project from the very beginning. She always wanted to do a full-fledged action film in the superhero genre and this is her big dream project. When Netflix decided to come on board, she was extremely happy because the film will now have a wider reach among a global audience base."
