The release date of Aditya Chopra’s upcoming Bollywood production ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’ has been postponed due to a rise in COVID-19 cases. The new release date will be announced later by the makers.

In what is being dubbed as Indian’s second wave of COVID-19, new restrictions and lockdowns are being implemented in certain parts of the country, most notably in Maharashtra. Owing to this, ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’ producer Aditya Chopra has decided to postpone the release of the film.

‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’, produced by Yash Raj Films, was earlier set to release on April 23. The film stars Saif Ali Khan, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Rani Mukerji. The film will also mark the debut of Sharvari. ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’ is the sequel to the 2005 hit film ‘Bunty Aur Babli’, starring Rani alongside Abhishek Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan.

‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’ is directed by Varun V. Sharma. It was previously scheduled to be released June 2020 but filming was only completed on the project in October of last year.
