Irrfan Khan’s ‘Karwaan’ gets preponed by a week, to release on August 3

Irrfan Khan-starrer ‘Karwaan’ will now release on August 3, a week before its scheduled date.

The release date of the Ronnie Screwvala venture, which also marks the Bollywood debut of Dulquer Salmaan and Mithila Palkar, has been advanced “to enjoy a clear two-week solo run at the box office”, read a statement from the makers, who believe that as per distributor’s point of view, it is a lucrative release window.

‘Karwaan’ revolves around three oddballs from different walks of life who are thrown together on a somewhat bizarre journey which helps them find normalcy in their lives. The film has been shot in the locales of Kerala.

Produced by Screwvala`s creative production house RSVP in association with Ishka films, ‘Karwaan’ is directed by Akarsh Khurana.

Earlier, Yash Raj Films’ ‘Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar’ was to release on August 3 too, but its makers shifted it to March 1, 2019.
