As the COVID-19 induced social distancing measures have put an interval on multiplexes & cinema halls, all eyeballs of home-bound Indians are moving towards OTT platforms. To address this transition & help viewers shine through the gloom, the content division of ABP News – ABP Spotlight, has unlocked a brand-new content innovation piece, with regard to a new film release on the streaming platform, Amazon Prime.

On 12th June midnight, as the Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer ‘Gulabo Sitabo’ got an exclusive digital release on Prime Video, ABP Spotlight created this refreshing & amusing piece to keep the excitement alive, among India’s film buffs. In this special piece, renowned ABP News Anchor, Shrivardhan Trivedi, who is known for his distinctive & quirky style, has interviewed ‘animated’ renditions of lead characters of the film.
