Really a hats off and salute to all these iconic producers who took a big risk by releasing films in theatres when most halls are still shut. We all know that filmmaking is a risky and rewarding business at the same time and no one knows that better than the passionate producers who finance film projects.

These producers knew fully well that the move could go either ways.
