Earlier, the film was scheduled to hit the theatres on February 24, but taking into account the public health situation, the makers have decided to wait and monitor the situation till it shows signs of improvement.

On Thursday, the makers released an official statement, which read: "Despite our willingness to meet you all at the cinemas on February 24, the present Covid scenario and the prevailing restrictions are not favourable for a grand release across the globe."
