New Delhi: Sonam Kapoor’s highly anticipated film “Blind” is all set to make its digital debut. The crime thriller, directed by Shome Makhija, will skip a theatrical release and premiere exclusively on JioCinema on July 7. This marks Sonam Kapoor’s first venture into the streaming space, adding a new dimension to her already diverse acting career.
“Blind” is a remake of the critically acclaimed 2011 Korean film of the same name. It tells the story of a blind police officer who takes on the challenge of investigating a serial killing case. The film showcases the protagonist’s resilience and determination as she overcomes seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The JioCinema statement describes it as a “compelling tale” that promises to bring a remarkable central character to life.
Shot in Scotland in 2020, “Blind” showcases Sonam Kapoor in action-packed sequences, with the director, Shome Makhija, giving audiences a glimpse into the world of the film through stills shared on social media. One photo features Sonam Kapoor holding a gun, hinting at an intense training session within the film. The other photos capture her in gripping action moments, heightening anticipation for the movie’s release. Produced by Kanai, Avma, and Kross Pictures, “Blind” also features talented actors such as Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak, Lillete Dubey, and Shubham Saraf. Sonam Kapoor’s return to the big screen after her maternity break has created a buzz among fans eagerly awaiting her thrilling performance in this crime drama.
JioCinema, the streaming platform, will offer “Blind” for free streaming starting July 9. This move further establishes JioCinema as a destination for high-profile films, following the success of “Bloody Daddy” starring Shahid Kapoor. Audiences can now enjoy Sonam Kapoor’s captivating performance from the comfort of their own homes.
