‘Bawaal’, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, will skip a theatrical release.
The romantic drama, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, will premiere directly on Prime Video in July.
This film marks Nitesh and producer Sajid Nadiadwala’s second collaboration after the success of the National Award-winning film ‘Chhichhore’ (2019).
Prime Video shared Varun and Janhvi's first look from ‘Bawaal’ on June 19 and wrote, ‘Badlega sabke dilon ka haal kyunki duniya bhar mein hone wala hai Bawaal. Iss July... banega mahaul as Bawaal goes global (Everyone's heart will see a change as there will be a commotion around the world)’.
‘Bawaal’ will premiere worldwide in over 200 countries and territories only on Prime Video.
The first-look poster shows Varun and Jhanvi lost in each other's eyes.
‘Set in the heartland of India, the gripping narrative takes viewers on a never-seen-before journey through Europe. We believe that a film that is rooted in India but has a global appeal deserves to reach customers not just in India, but all across the world,’ Sajid, who is co-producing the film under his banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, said.
Nitesh, who's co-producing the film under his banner Earthsky Pictures, said, ‘Shot across three Indian locations and five European countries, Bawaal has a captivating storyline, dramatic visuals and absolutely amazing chemistry between the lead talent Varun and Jahnvi. I believe that the worldwide premiere on Prime Video will help us take Bawaal to audiences in India and across borders.’
