John Abraham reveals why the release date of his film ‘Parmanu’ has been changed

John Abraham-starrer ‘Parmanu : The Story of Pokhran’ was all set to hit the screens on December 8, 2017. However, it has now been postponed to February next year. Well, the reason behind the change of release date is Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’.

The Deepika Padukone-starrer will be hitting the screens on December 1, 2017, and it’s a magnum opus, so it might affect the collection of the movie that releases in its next week.

Recently, while talking about changing the release date, John said, “There are so many films which have an entertainment purpose only and there are very few films which are important for our country. According to me, ‘Parmanu’ is one such film which is very important in modern India so it was important that we needed a proper release date for this film.”

“And now I am not just an actor but a producer as well. I am producing this film with AKriaj Entertainment so I feel box-office collection is also important aspect of film business and now I think we have got good release date,” the actor-turned-producer added.

Prernaa Arora, who is the founder of KriArj Entertainment, further stated, “‘Padmavati’ was earlier scheduled to release on December 17 which has been preponed to December 1.”

“Our film is big and important and is made with lot of heart. It’s the important film for the country as well so we wanted to showcase it in right way and we wanted to have availability of sufficient screens around us. We wanted everything to happen correctly so that’s reason we thought not to come on December 8,” she added.

Directed by Abhishek Sharma, ‘Parmanu : The Story of Pokhran’ also stars Diana Penty in the lead role. (Also Read: ‘Parmanu’: John and Diana’s character posters look extraordinarily powerful)
