Ranveer Singh's 83 gets postponed again, will be releasing on some date next year; Read on

One of the most awaited films of Bollywood, 83, has been again postponed by the makers. According to a report in a leading tabloid, Ranveer Singh's film will not be released at the festival of Christmas this year. Instead, the makers have decided on a date next year from January to March. Even though the theaters have opened now, 83 will not be screened this year. Wondering why? The source tells, "That's simply because Reliance Entertainment would like to firmly gauge the public response in the on-going pandemic. Most theatres in Maharashtra and especially Mumbai which is the hub of Bollywood opened only yesterday with Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari and there are no new movies lined up for the next 2 weeks. Before releasing a big film like '83, any producer would prefer a larger sample size to get the right perspective. Hence, the decision to wait out a bit more."

There is another film awaiting a release from the beginning of this year and it is Akshay Kumar's Sooryanvanshi. The film will not be postponed again since it has already got enough release dates. "Not really, the plan, as on date, is to release both in the first quarter of 2021," says our source, "But the two films will be decently spaced out as they are from the same production house." Meanwhile, some Bollywood films are releasing on the OTT platforms while others are looking forward to a theatre release soon.
