The announcement was made on Monday, July 17. However, the film will clash in cinemas with Sidharth Malhotra-led Yodha. And the producer of the film Karan Johar is unhappy with the clash and has expressed his displeasure
Taking to Instagram Threads, Karan Johar said that studios and producers should have shown some courtesy and made a call about the date clash. “Clashing on a date without the courtesy of a phone call is hopefully not the way forward for the studios and producers …. If we don’t stand united in these tough and challenging theatrical days then calling us a fraternity is futile,” Karan Johar wrote.
