Mumbai,
“Salaam Venky”, featuring Bollywood star Kajol, is set to have its digital premiere on February 10 on ZEE5, the streaming platform announced Friday.
Directed by Revathy and co-written by Kausar Munir and Sameer Arora, the slice-of-life drama released in theatres on December 9. Kajol said working on “Salaam Venky” was an emotional experience for her and being a mother of two she could resonate with her character of Sujata. “After ‘Salaam Venky’, all I have learnt is that life is uncertain so don’t spend your time worrying about the future or living in the past. Live your life to the fullest. I feel proud for being recognised for such a meaningful film and I am glad my fans will get to watch it once again on ZEE5,” the actor said in a statement. Revathy said the team is delighted to bring the film on ZEE5 for a larger audience. “After receiving immense admiration in theatres, we are eager for the audiences to watch it once again on ZEE5,”, she said.
“Salaam Venky” is inspired by the true story of the young chess player Kolavennu Venkatesh, who had Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). He died in 2004.
