'Marjaavaan' release postponed to November 22

The box office clash between Yash Raj's action feature "War" and "Marjaavaan" has been averted as the makers of Sidharth Malhotra-starrer have decided to postpone the film.

Earlier, the two films were both scheduled to release on October 2.

However, "Marjaavaan", directed by Milap Milan Zaveri, will now the hit the theatres on November 22, the film's makers said in a statement.

Produced by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series and Nikkhil Advani's Emmay Entertainment, the film also features Riteish Deshmukh, Tara Sutaria and Rakul Preet besides Sidharth.

"The film needs VFX especially with Riteish (Deshmukh) playing a dwarf. We want to offer the audiences the best. The team is on edit table working day and night to achieve the deadline. After several discussions, we have decided to release on a later date and give a powerful film to our audiences," Bhushan said.

Nikkhil said it was important for the team to find a suitable release date for "Marjaavaan".

Milap said, "It is a powerful mass action love story with the highlight being the battle between Sidharth and Riteish. Riteish is playing a dwarf villain and his VFX is hopefully going to be a highlight."
