Aanand L Rai’s upcoming directorial, Atrangi Re starring Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan, and Dhanush, went on floors in Varanasi in March of last year. The team resumed the shoot of the film in Madurai in October 2020 and followed by a Delhi schedule. While production houses are on an announcement spree for theatrical releases, the makers of Atrangi Re have opted for digital release instead.

According to a tabloid, the makers have decided on a direct-to-digital release for the film - on Netflix. With back-to-back announcements of films since this past weekend after the Maharashtra government announced the re-opening of cinemas, major dates until next year has been booked for tentpole releases.
