The movie was originally scheduled to hit the big screens on March 26, 2020. However, like many others, the makers couldn’t release the film due to the coronavirus pandemic. The film got a release date on March 26 this year but once again, the team pushed the release to a later date, citing that the movie might have a better response if it is released on the occasion of Eid.
