Fans of actress Rani Mukerji will have to wait a little longer to watch her comeback film Hichki as its release date has been shifted from February 23 to March 23. The decision has been taken by Yash Raj Films keeping in mind the audience that will come post-exam period.
Yash Raj Films (YRF) on Thursday announced the date change for the movie, which is about turning disadvantages into opportunities. YRF head honcho Aditya Chopra is said to have been convinced by the marketing and distribution team at the banner that Hichki needs a release window that could bring in more audience.
Producer Maneesh Sharma said in a statement: “The multiple screenings of Hichki saw outstanding reactions. The audience in attendance has called it one of the best content-driven and heartwarming movies to ever come out of YRF. So naturally, the reaction of the team is that does Hichki currently have the best release date to get an extended run in cinemas across India.”
