Considering the popularity of the two mega releases and its extensive promotions, Apoorva has reportedly decided to postpone the release of ‘Haseena Parkar’ once again
According to a report published in NDTV, a source confirmed the news and said “Apoorva Lakhia doesn’t see any point in getting into the current clutter of releases. It will be suicidal as the producers of Toilet – Ek Prem Katha, which releases on August 11, are likely to get a tax exemption, which will play a vital role in ticket sales. Competing with these two films, Jab Harry Met Sejal and Toilet – Ek Prem Katha, is not only tough but almost impossible.”
Reportdly, the makers are yet to release an official statement regarding the postponement of ‘Haseena Parkar’ and announce its new releas date.
Talking about the movie, ‘Haseena Parkar’ is a biopic based on Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haseena. The movie stars Shraddha in the titular role along with her brother Siddhanth Kapoor who will essay the role of Dawood in the movie.
