Bollywood movies which never made it to theatres
The current COVID-19 lockdown has effected the film fraternity drastically, due to which many big banner Bollywood movies are shelved. The speculation in social media gives many a hint that there a high possibility of many Bollywood movies to be coming straight to OTT platforms rather than the theatres.
Movies like Ghoomketu, Shakuntala Devi, and Gulabo Sitabo will be all featuring in the digital platforms.These are movies that are already completed; however, there are many incomplete and halted movies because of the significant pandemic throughout the world.
Prior- to the pandemic, many Bollywood movies were halted for years after year, and ultimately for some unforeseen reasons, the movie never happened.
List of Bollywood movies that never got released.

1. APNA PARAYA
The shelving of Apna Paraya- would have been the best thing in the starting days of Amitabh Bachchan’s career. The shooting was halfway through, but later the director decided to shelved the shooting and replaced Amitabh Bachchan because of his flop image.
The maker decided to rename the movie as Duniya ka Mela starring the new lead Sanjay Khan alongside Rekha, which proved to be a big flop at the box office. The year 1974 gave a significant breakthrough in the career of Amitabh Bachchan as his movie Zanjeer proved to be a big hit, whereas Duniya Ka Mela, which was released in the same year, proved to be a big-time disappointment at the box office.

2. RAN KSHETRA
Speaking of Bollywood movies, the first debut film of Salman Khan and Bhagyashree is considered to be an all-time hit called Maine Pyar Kiya.
The audience loved the two; therefore, another movie called Ran Kshetra was on its way after Maine Pyar Kiya, but it never happened as Bhagyashree walked out of the project due to her marriage and the movie was shelved.
3. Run Bhola Run
Run Bhula Run one of those Bollywood movies which had its trailer launched way back in the year 2011 starting Govinda, Tusshar Kapoor and Ameesha Patel as leads, but never made it to the theatres.
