Many have been eagerly awaiting the release of Amitabh Bachchan’s movie Shoebite for over a decade now.

Amitabh Bachchan & Shoojit Sircar’s next movie to release on OTT?

Shoebite presents an intriguing storyline revolving around a man in his early 60s, played by the legendary thespian Amitabh Bachchan. Completed over a decade ago, the film’s plot derives its inspiration from M. Night Shyamalan’s Labour of Love. However, despite its completion, the film has encountered several obstacles, primarily due to permission issues from Shyamalan himself.

Recent developments suggest that the clouds of uncertainty surrounding Shoebite might be dispelling gradually. According to a recent report, Shoojit Sircar expressed optimism about the film’s release. He stated, “We are trying hard to sort out things, but it’s complicated. I hope it gets resolved, and we get to release it.”

Moreover, the rights of Shoebite have undergone a significant transition. It now rests with entertainment giants Disney and Fox.

Additionally, Amitabh Bachchan himself has been vocal about his desire to see Shoebite reach audiences. In a tweet dating back to 2018, the megastar urged the film’s makers to release it. “PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, Utv & Disney, or whoever else has it. Warners, whoever. JUST RELEASE THIS FILM!! Lot of hard labour been put in. Don’t KILL creativity,” read his heartfelt plea.

For director Shoojit Sircar, Shoebite holds a special place in his heart. He emphasized Amitabh Bachchan’s dedication to his character. He also highlighted that it marks a departure from the actors’ usual dialogue-driven roles.

Overall, as the proverbial saying goes, “Good things come to those who wait.” The anticipation surrounding Shoebite’s release continues to build, with fans eagerly awaiting further updates.
