'Phillauri' to release on March 31, 2017

Fox Star Studios and actress Anushka Sharma's home production "Phillauri" has been scheduled for release on March 31 next year. The actress has assured it will be a "colourful ride".

Shot extensively in Punjab, the film stars Diljit Dosanjh, Suraj Sharma, Mehreen Pirzada and Anushka.

Anushka announced the news on her Twitter handle and posted: "I've got some news for you. 'Phillauri' will be out on March 31, 2017. This one is going to be a crazy colourful ride, I promise, Fox star Hindi."

The post-production of the film is on in full swing, the makers have said.

"We are very happy to announce the release date of 'Phillauri' - a romantic, fun film with loads of desi colour. It will release on March 31, 2017. Currently, the post-production work is on in full swing and we are excited about the way the film is shaping up," read a statement from the producers.

Co-produced by Clean Slate Films -- Anushka's production banner with brother Karnesh Sharma -- and Fox Star Studios, "Phillauri" is a fun-filled romantic Hindi film set in Phillaur.

Directed by debutant Anshai Lal and written by Anvita Dutt, the film's shoot had begun on Baisakhi earlier this year and the shooting wrapped in June.

Clean Slate Films has previously produced "NH10", which also starred Anushka.
