New release dates of Street Dancer 3D, Anurag Basu’s next and Pagalpanti were announced today (May 27)
Bollywood films shuffling their release dates is not a new phenomenon in Bollywood. In the past years, we’ve seen several biggies change their release dates, and some of them have even changed it many times over. In fact, the ripple effect it has on other releases is also a common thing. So as Street Dancer 3D postponed its release, we knew more films will shift too. And that’s what happened! In fact, Street Dancer 3D, Anurag Basu’s next, and Pagalpanti played musical chairs with their release dates and we have all the inside details for you! Yes, all the three films have been carefully shifted keeping in mind a lot of intrinsic factors. And the mastermind behind this is the common production house – T Series!
Yes, T-Series took the decision to shuffle the release dates of Street Dancer 3D, Anurag Basu’s next and Pagalpanti. And we may have just cracked the reason behind the move. Read on to find out…
# Street Dancer 3D
Old Release Date: November 02, 2019
New Release Date: January 24, 2020
Starring Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor, the Remo D’Souza-directorial was initially supposed to release on November 08, 2019. While it was a good, open release, T-Series might have been tempted to give it a bigger release. Especially with it being termed as the biggest dance film and first Indian 3D dance film, Street Dancer 3D deserves a massive release. T-Series’ Anurag Basu directorial was supposed to release on January 24, 2020. And so, the production house decided to push it and give Street Dancer 3D a Republic Day release. The movie already has a patriotic angle, so it is an apt release.
# Anurag Basu’s untitled next
Old Release Date: January 24, 2020
New Release Date: February 21, 2020
With Street Dancer 3D taking its place, Anurag Basu’s untitled next was postponed to February 21, 2020. The movie is still being shot and with a few free weeks in the second half of Febraury 2020, T-Series felt it would be best to release the action-comedy in that slot. Starring Abhishek Bachchan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra and a few others, this one is going to be an interesting watch.
# Pagalpanti
Old Release Date: November 22, 2019
New Release Date: November 08, 2019
With Street Dancer 3D being postponed, T-Series which planned to release Pagalpanti on November 22 this year, pre-poned it to the former’s slot of November 08. The production house had already spoken to exhibitors and distributors for a wide release on November 08 and with no film around, it is a better prospect for Pagalpanti. Starring Anil Kapoor, Ileana D’Cruz, John Abraham, Kriti Kharbanda, Pulkit Samrat and Urvashi Rautela, this Anees Bazmee directorial will be a laugh riot.
With this shuffle, T-Series has pulled off a calculated masterstroke. What do you have to say about all the release dates reshuffling? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below! Also stay tuned to CineBlitz for more news and updates from the world of Bollywood right here.
