Sonam Kapoor set to make comeback after four years with Blind, makers announce release date

Actor Sonam Kapoor has been missing from the big screen for a long time. After the arrival of her baby boy Vayu, last year, the actor was busy taking care of her motherly duties. She will be making her comeback to the films with her film Blind.

Directed by Shome Makhija, Blind also stars Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak, Lilette Dubey, and Shubham Saraf. The film is a Bollywood remake of the 2011 released Korean crime thriller of

the same name, directed by Ahn Sang-hoon. On Monday, the makers of the film announced that the film will be getting a direct OTT release.

Blind is all set to stream on the OTT platform Jio Cinema from July 7, two days ahead of her birthday. Taking to Instagram, Jio Cinema shared the poster of the film which they captioned, “Sometimes it’s hard to ‘see’ the truth. Are you ready to enter the darkness of her world? Watch #BlindOnJioCinema, streaming free 7 July onwards.”

The makers recently unveiled the first look of the film. In one of the images, Sonam carried a gun during what appeared to be target practice.

journey. It’s only the beginning, but we know our lives are forever changed,” the couple posted.
