When questioned about the film’s delay in release, he shared, “I don’t know much either, but it’s a very well-made film. Yes, the film is complete, and it has turned out to be excellent—truly a brilliant film. Anushka Sharma has delivered one of her best performances to date. However, I have no idea when this film will be released or what will happen with it. I can only hope. I haven’t spoken to the makers to understand why the release is getting delayed. Is it a censorboard issue? Are there no available screens? Is the film struggling to find a market? As of now, there has been no clear update.”
