Bollywood makers are now becoming averse to take risks when it comes to releasing small films in theatres. According to the latest, low budget film Govinda Naam Mera skipped the theatrical release and is racing for OTT streaming. The film will be streaming on Disney+Hotstar on December 16, 2022. The film stars Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar and Kiara Advani in the lead roles.
Vicky Kaushal is playing the role of Govind Waghmare while Bhumi Pednekar and Kiara Advani are playing the roles of his 'hottie wife' Gauri and ‘naughty girlfriend’ Suku respectively. The makers captioned “Plot twists that will leave you in a tizzy! Disney+ Hostar in its promotions increased curiosity with the message "Govinda naam mera, naachna kaam mera. Aa raha hun jald, apni kahaani le kar!", for Gauri the introduction was, "Ayeee, Gauri aa rahi hai. Taiyaar ho ki nahi?", while for Kiara, the intro read as "Come and say hi huku with Suku!".
Shashank Khaitan is directing the film which is a quirky murder mystery. The film marks Vicky's second film under Karan Johar's Dharma Productions after the horror film Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship.
