Rakul Preet Singh has been one name that is constantly popping up in the news these days. The actress is in the news for all the good reasons, for all the movies that’s lined up for her, and also the ones that are released. Same way, Ajay Devgn has been one constant name in the news. He is on a movie signing spree recently and has various others in the works and some lined up for release. Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh have despite both being super busy have one more thing in common.
You might have guessed it by now. Rakul Preet Singh and Ajay Devgn are the leading stars, along with Sidharth Malhotra in a movie that they are doing together. Titled, “Thank God”, the movie has been in the news for quite some time, but still hasn’t seen any kind of update. The movie was announced back in 2019 itself and reportedly is the remake of a Danish film “Sorte Kugler”.
The reason the movie hasn’t had any updates is because, “Thank God” was supposed to begin shooting by January 2020. But during production, Covid came to India in full blown state and everything was shut down. After a stressful time, things started to get back to normal, but our actors already had their prior commitments. The movie, which was scheduled to release by May 2021, couldn’t move ahead.
Ajay Devgn has been constantly busy with his OTT debut in Disney+ Hotstar’s “Rudra: The Edge of Darkness” and on the other hand Rakul Preet Singh has been busy with her movie, “Doctor G”, alongside actor Ayushmann Khurrana. These projects and their commitments have kept them busy enough to work on “Thank God”. But the positive news is that the movie will reportedly start shooting by September 2021 and a few weeks ago, it already had begun its production.
Now, that guarantees that the movie might be able to release by the end of 2021 or maybe early 2022, which means the movie can easily go for a theatrical release. The constant changing of dates, the decision of OTT releases has been a headache for the creators, but maybe the delay of “Thank God” in fact can turn into a good thing now.
If by God’s grace India doesn’t face the third wave, movie halls and theatres will be opening with 100% capacity by the end. They are already opening up in many places and a 100% occupancy will definitely guarantee the big star movies will attract a bigger crowd. This definitely benefits the creators of “Thank God”, even if they might have incurred losses in the beginning stage.
So, now it’s up to the makers and actors as to how they would like to proceed with the movie and what can happen with its release.
