Does Kona Venkat's cryptic post suggest that 'Nishabdham' will release in theaters?

While some filmmakers are waiting for the lockdown to end, the others have decided to negotiate with OTT platforms to get their films released online. Recently, media reports claimed that Anushka Shetty starrer Nishabdham's makers are negotiating a deal with Amazon Prime Video to release the movie on their platform since the theatres are shut. However, producer Kona Venkat's recent social media post seems to refute the rumours.
