Rajkummar Rao's film 'Shahid' released on OTT after 13 years, Apurva Asrani raises questions

Directed by Hansal Mehta and starring Rajkummar Rao, the film 'Shahid' has been a topic of discussion for a long time. According to News 18 Hindi, the film is now available for viewers on the OTT platform Prime Video. Following the release, the film's writer, Apurva Asrani, expressed his reaction on social media.

Apurva Asrani has expressed surprise at the 13-year delay in the film's digital release. He has publicly questioned what has changed after all these years that the film has now found a place on OTT. His statement has become a subject of discussion within the film industry.

'Shahid' is based on the life of lawyer and human rights activist Shahid Azmi. The film garnered significant acclaim during its time, and Rajkummar Rao was honored with a National Award for his exceptional performance.

The story of the film depicts the struggle of a man who fights against injustice. Directed by Hansal Mehta, the film was highly praised by critics, but it took a long time to reach an OTT platform after its initial theatrical release.

Apurva Asrani's question is being seen as a critique of film distribution and the policies of OTT platforms. Many are supporting his argument that excellent films should not take such a long time to reach their audience.

Fans can now watch this film on Prime Video. As it is one of the early and significant films in Rajkummar Rao's career, there is considerable excitement among viewers to watch it.

This film is not just a biopic; it also serves as a document of the social and legal conditions of that era. By arriving on OTT, the film will now be able to reach a wider audience.
