Lionsgate Play will launch the digital premier of the Oscar-winning movie Bombshell on Friday as part of the OTT player’s Blockbuster Friday series. Starring Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie and directed by Jay Roach, the real life inspired biographical drama is based upon the accounts of the women at Fox News who set out to expose CEO of Fox News Roger Ailes for sexual harassment.

Bombshell has received accolades for meticulous transformations of Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman into Megyn Kelly and Gretchen Carlson, respectively. It also received support from the Indian film industry as well as Bollywood personalities such as Zoya Akhtar, Farhan Akhtar, Taapsee Pannu, Ananya Pandey, Dia Mirza, Ishan Khattar and many others.
