Khan made his acting debut with the movie Maharaj, which was released directly on OTT. Now, his second film is set to release in theatres. 

Speaking about the medium change from OTT to theatre, Junaid said that he doesn't feel so much of a difference. 

"I don't think I feel so much of a difference. I think at the end of the day, a film is a film, and they're all very dear to us all. And I mean things like how best to distribute the film, I leave that, leave it to their better judgment. At the end of the day, I'm an actor. For me, in an ideal situation, put it free on YouTube so everybody, obviously, can watch it. But it's not a practicality," he told Hindustan Times.

More about Loveyapa

Directed by Advait Chandan, the movie is the remake of the Tamil superhit movie, Love Today.

Speaking on the remake, the actor said, "First of all, love stories have a certain sense of timelessness. And I felt it was an exciting script. I felt it was fun to do. And plus, I think many people don't really care that there is something they're like, no, but this looks interesting enough.

The film will be released in theatres on February 7.
