Omerta Film Director Hansal Mehta gave this information from his Twitter account. He retweeted a tweet stating that the film is going to be streamed in June. Hansal Mehta wrote, ‘I am as surprised as everyone else. But come on, Omerta finally discovered the streaming platform. There is a lot of passion, effort and hard work in this film. At the same time, Anurag Kashyap has also tweeted about this. Apart from this, Zee-5 has also confirmed that the film is going to stream soon.
In 1999, Indian Airlines Flight 814 was hijacked. Pakistan will first take it to Lahore and then to Kandahar. At that time there was a Taliban government in Afghanistan. One of the terrorists whom the terrorists demanded to be released in exchange for hijack was Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh. The same Umar Sheikh story is shown in Rajkumar Rao’s film Omerta. The film is soon to be streamed on the online streaming platform Zee-5.
The film had to struggle a lot to get into the theater. The censor board used a lot of scissors on it. The terrorist Omar Saeed Sheikh shown in the film was sentenced to death by a Pakistani court. However, this was later changed. Omar is accused of carrying out attacks like 9/11 and 26/11. Apart from this, he has also been sentenced for the murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl.
The Omerta film first trailer was released on 14 March 2018 while the second trailer was released on 23 April 2018. The Omerta Film can be expected to be premiered sometime in June 2020 on Zee5.
It seems the Omerta film has now found a streaming partner in Zee5 and is all set to release this June 2020.
