About a couple of weeks back, Shoojit Sircar had hinted that he will be releasing his latest directorial Gulabo Sitabo on a digital platform due to the ongoing coronavirus lockdown. The filmmaker had revealed that he will decide on the same post-May 3, 2020, depending on if lockdown is lifted or not. Yes, the final decision has been made and Gulabo Sitabo will be premiering digitally on Amazon Prime Video. Yes, it will be streamed on June 12, 2020.

The makers announced it with a new poster of the film featuring the lead actors Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana. In the poster, we see the cuter version of both of them while Big B dons a never-seen-before avatar. The tagline of the film is 'Ek priceless Jodi'. Bachchan shared the poster with a caption stating, "Ek izzatdaar janaab aur uske anokhe kirayedar ki kahaani. Gulabo Sitabo premieres June 12 only on @PrimeVideoIN! #GiboSiboOnPrime #WorldPremiereOnPrime @ayushmannk @shoojitsircar @ronnie.lahiri #SheelKumar @juhic3 @filmsrisingsun @kinoworksllp"

Seems like, Gulabo Sitabo is the first Bollywood film to hit on a digital platform than a theatrical release as the reports have been making the rounds from quite some time. 

Meanwhile, talking about Sircar's statement, he had told Mumbai Mirror, "As a filmmaker, I’d want to see my film open in the theatres, but the situation today is unlike anything anyone had ever experienced. So, I’m open to a digital release if need be, but we will decide after May 3."

The film marks the first outing of Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana. Moreover, Shoojit is directing both the actors after Piku and Vicky Donor respectively.
