The Covid-19 situation had a major impact on the film industry as the release dates of several biggies were delayed to protect the health of the public. Sooryavanshi, Salman Khan's Radhe, Haathi Mere Saathi and the Ranveer Singh starrer 83 are some of the biggies that failed to keep their date with the audience. The uncertain situation also forced the makers of movies like PonMagal Vandhal, Dil Bechara, Ragini Prajwal's Law and French Biriyani to go in for a digital-only release, skipping the theatrical route. Films such as Shakuntala Devi, Gunjan Saxena, Bhuj and Raat Akeli Hain too are slated to release on streaming platforms in the coming days.

Coming back to AB Sr, he was last seen in Gulabo Sitabo that released directly on Amazon Prime Video. The film, co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana, received rave reviews and is widely regarded as a success. The 'Shahenshan' will next be seen in Jhund, featuring him in a new avatar. He also has the Karan Johar-backed Brahmastra and Chehere (co-starring Emraan Hashmi) in his kitty.
