Mumbai – September 26 (Online): Bollywood superstar Amir Khan, who was scheduled to release his film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ this December, will now release his film on Valentine’s Day 2022, he said in an official statement.
The news came minutes after Ranveer Singh announced that his sports film, ’83, directed by Kabir Khan, will have a Christmas 2021 release.
Some thought that the actor was bowing out of a box office faceoff, but he said that it was the delays in the production, owing to the pandemic that forced them to postpone the release date.
“Due to the delays faced as a result of the pandemic, we will be unable to release our film Laal Singh Chaddha, this Christmas. We will now be releasing Laal Singh Chaddha on Valentine’s Day 2022.” Said Amir, according to Indian media.
In his statement, the actor also shared his delight over the Maharashtra government’s decision to re-open theatres next month. “We welcome the decision of the administration to allow cinemas to re-open from 22nd Oct,” read his post.
