The post, put up on the banner’s official handle @yrf, was retweeted by the film’s lead actors, Arjun and Parineeti.
“Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar” has been jinxed by delay in schedule, Unconfirmed reports state that the film was originally scheduled to open over a year ago. It was finally readied for release next Friday, but it seems like Parineeti and Arjun will have to wait a while longer for their film to see light of day, once the COVID 19 storm passes away.
