Once again! John Abraham’s Rocky Handsome gets delayed. Read on to know why?

John Abraham, who revived his acting career with ‘Welcome Back,’ seems to be on a roll with a lot of films in his kitty. His fans are desperately waiting to see him on a big screen, but unfortunately, his fans might have to wait a little longer as the release date of his next film ‘Rocky Handsome’ has been pushed once again.

‘Rocky Handsome’ directed by Nishikant Kamat was supposed to release in February this year. But the handsome hunk wanted his multi-starrer ‘Welcome Back’ to release first. Therefore, the makers pushed the release date of ‘Rocky Handsome’ to October. But once again, the movie didn’t reach the theatres in October and got delayed further. To avoid clashing with Akshay Kumar’s ‘Sling is Bling’ was the reason stated by the director for this delay. Makers then decided to release ‘Rocky Handsome’ in February 2016 but yet again we have learnt that it has been postponed to March 2016.

According to reports, the movie has run over budget and now the makers have no money to carry out the promotional activities of the film, leading to a delay in the film’s release. A source says, “The production cost has exceeded the budget and they desperately need money to promote it on a large scale. They are hunting for a studio for help, but have not met with any success so far. The film is currently in the post-production stage and going through a lot of creative changes.”

Even though John Abraham starred in ‘Welcome Back,’ which was a multi-starrer film, ‘Rocky Handsome’ will mark the comeback of this handsome hunk as a solo hero. We just hope that ‘Rocky Handsome’ hits the theatres soon.
