Recently, Reliance Entertainment CEO Shibasish Sarkar said that while they were keen on a theatrical release for Sooryavanshi and 83, they do not want to delay beyond the scheduled Diwali and Christmas releases. If theatres do not open by then, they might consider a direct-to-digital release, he said.
