“Bloody Daddy is designed for OTT,” responds Shahid Kapoor to fans who wanted theatrical release

Shahid asserted, “I saw a lot of comments when the teaser came out and you know, why aren't you putting this out in the theatres? And trust me, we were all tempted. But this is designed for OTT, and it was meant to be for that kind of platform. So we're very very fortunate that this film will be coming out right after the IPL when all the eyeballs are on the Jio Cinema and can't wait to share the film with you guys.”

He concluded by adding, “This is the first time we showed the trailer. I'm so glad it was not on phone and it was a nice big screen because that's where it's fun to see an action film and I hope people would be watching it on the biggest possible TV back home.”

Speaking of the film, filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar said, “We see a lot of dark crime thrillers in the West, but hardly any in India that are made at that level and intensity. Bloody Daddy breaks all stereotypes right from Shahid's transformation into a 'killing machine' to being one of the first direct-to-OTT films to be created at this grand scale! Bloody Daddy is a hard-hitting out-and-out dark action thriller that promises raw and real action,” in a statement.
