Mumbai, January 15 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar recently announced his next feature "Selfiee", in which he will be sharing screen space with Emraan Hashmi for the first time. The comedy-drama, which is said to be the Hindi remake of Malayalam hit "Driving License", will be directed by "Good Newwz" fame Raj Mehta.

Ever since the movie is announced, there are speculations that it will be made as direct to digital release. Knowing the fact that Akshay Kumar has several films lined up for release in theaters, the rumors are making noise that "Selfiee" will be released directly on Disney Plus Hotstar to avoid the overdose of theatrical release for the fans of Akshay.



The makers, however, have not yet set the release date of the film and also are in no mood to bring it directly on OTT. According to reports, "Selfiee" will be released in theaters first before going to OTT. It is said that Disney+Hotstar has acquired the post-theatrical streaming rights of this dramedy.

Akshay Kumar's last release, "Atrangi Re", in which he played the extended cameo with Dhanush and Sara Ali Khan in the leads, was a direct streaming release on Disney+Hotstar. It received a very good response from the Disney+ subscribers and it became the most-watched Bollywood film on OTT in 2021.

Meanwhile, "Selfiee" reunites Akshay with director Raj Mehta after the blockbuster "Good Newwz". In their upcoming film, Akshay will feature as a superstar while Emraan Hashmi will be playing the role of a cop, who is also a fan of Akshay's character in the film. The movie revolves around both the character and how a feud develops between them that takes a toll on each other's personal and professional lives.
