Filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has settled for an OTT release for his new film, "Toofaan", starring Farhan Akhtar. While the filmmaker agrees that the experience of watching a film in a theatre is different, he also feels fortunate that it will cross borders to a larger audience on same day thanks to the digital premiere.

The sports drama co-starring Mrunal Thakur is themed around boxing. "We are extremely fortunate to get a world release on the day and date. Normally when an Indian film is released, it goes around the world, we release it in 500 to 600 prints if it`s a big film. Here, it is going to 200 countries to 240 territories. It will be seen in 86 million households. They will have to choose to see it but there is a possibility of your work crossing the border," says the filmmaker.
