Over a month after its theatre release, Amitabh Bachchan’s Jhund is now all set for its OTT release. The movie will be available on the streaming platform ZEE5 from May 6 onwards. The film is based on the life of Vijay Barse who was the founder of Slum Soccer, an organisation that works for the wellbeing and development of children from underprivileged backgrounds with an acumen to play football.
Jhund brings to the fore the life of a slum dweller and his struggle to achieve his dream. The protagonist uses his life experience to make a way for himself and his community to break the social barriers, inspiring millions of youths to be passionate about their dreams and making it a reality with dedication and determination.
The film stars Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan in the lead. It also features Rinku Rajguru, Ankush Gedam, and Akash Thosar among others.
