Dulquer Salmaan’s ‘Salute’ skips theatrical release, to premiere on SonyLIV

Mumbai: Actor Dulquer Salmaan’s Malayalam crime thriller ”Salute” will skip theatrical release and have its world premiere on streaming platform SonyLIV.

The film was pushed from its January 14 theatrical release due to the rising coronavirus cases in the country. Salmaan has backed ”Salute” under his banner Wayfarer Films.

The streaming platform made the announcement on its Twitter page, late Sunday evening. The premier date of the film is yet to be revealed.

”SonyLIV and Wayfarer films are glad to come together to bring you Dulquer Salman’s #Salute directed by Roshan Andrews and written by Bobby-Sanjay.
