A day after the trailer of Durgamati dropped online, Bhumi Pednekar is basking in the love coming her way. The horror film, which was originally supposed to release in theatres, is poised for a digital premiere on Amazon Prime Video. "Due to the pandemic, movies directly releasing on digital platforms is a unique scenario that we are all living with," states the actor.

The Ashok-directed venture marks her second OTT release after Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare. At a time when the content consumption pattern has witnessed a dramatic shift the world over, Bhumi Pednekar is hopeful that the award galas in the country will consider films that have enjoyed a straight-to-OTT release for top honours.
