However, the news of a delay has left many wondering what could be the reason behind the postponement. In a recent statement, director Anurag Basu has confirmed that the film’s release has been pushed to 2026, and denied reports claiming that the delay was due to a clash in story with another upcoming film, ‘Saiyaara’.
As reported by Moneycontrol, Basu has clarified that the pushback was not due to any creative differences or conflicts with the story of ‘Saiyaara’, which also features performers as central characters. In an interview, Basu stated, “Both films feature performers as central characters, we knew there’d be comparisons…they’re completely different from each other.” This statement provides a clear indication that the delay was not caused by any issues with the storyline or creative differences with the other film.

Speculations have been rife about whether the delay was caused by creative differences, changes in the script, or even the ongoing production schedule.
However, with Basu’s statement, it appears that the delay was solely due to the film’s production timeline.
