'Creature 3D' release pushed to Sep 12

The release of Bipasha Basu-starrer "Creature 3D", a sci-fi thriller, has been delayed till Sep 12 due to work on visual effects. The makers are also avoiding a clash with "Singham Returns".

Produced by T-Series, "Creature 3D" is directed by Vikram Bhatt. After "Haunted" and "Raaz 3", Bhatt has directed another 3D film that will scare the audience with a creature, which is created using VFX.

"Vikram is working on the post-production of the film since there is a lot of VFX work to be done. He has shot it on par with international standards and this will be a treat for the Indian audiences," Bhushan Kumar said in a statement.

"We have chalked our promotional plans and have taken a mutual decision with our distributors to postpone the release of the film. Now, the film hits screens on Sep 12," he added.

Bhatt also says that the delay of the film is due to the VFX work.

"It's a mega-budget film for both Bhushan and me. We had to push forward the release by two weeks because Ajay Devgn's 'Singham Returns' opens on Aug 15 and we didn't want to come within a week of its release," he said.

The film will mark the debut of actor Imran Abbas.
