"Hotel Mumbai" will see the light of day in India, one of its India distributors said on Wednesday. The movie released worldwide on March 29 and was due to hit the screens in India on the same date as well.

A tweet from the official Twitter handle of Zee Studios read: "Zee Studios and Prolific Picture Work to release a critically-acclaimed film 'Hotel Mumbai' in India this summer." It will release sometime soon, according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

"Based on 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai… Zee Studios and Prolific Picture Work to release 'Hotel Mumbai' in India this summer," he tweeted. Directed by Anthony Maras, the film has been to multiple international film festivals. It is based on the brutal 26/11 terrorist attacks in Mumbai in 2008 at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. The film stars Dev Patel, Anupam Kher, Armie Hammer, and Nazanin Boniadi.

Anupam has been excited about the movie and has been spreading a word about it in the US. "Please watch this film about care, courage, and compassion," he tweeted on March 29. He has since been sharing Twitter reviews of the film on his social media timeline.

Netflix, Arclight Films International, and four other companies were sued by Dubai-based distributor Plus Holdings over rights to "Hotel Mumbai". Plus Holdings claimed it acquired the rights for India in a deal with the film's financier Zeitgeist. It alleges that its deal was illegally canceled, in order for the rights to be licensed instead to the streaming giant.
