'Parmanu The Story of Pokhran' to release on May 4

John Abraham's "Parmanu The Story of Pokhran" is set to release on May 4.

Directed by Abhishek Sharma, the film also features Diana Penty and Boman Irani and is produced by John's production house, JA Entertainment.

"Much in line with India's journey to becoming a nuclear power, our film's journey to its release has also had its own ups and downs. However, it is perhaps a befitting tribute to the true heroes of our nuclear program- our army and our scientists, that Parmanu is releasing in the same month as we are celebrate 20 years of Operation Shakti- India's nuclear test explosions in Pokhran in May 1998.

"We are extremely proud of the film and what it stands for and can't wait to take it to our audience on 4th May, 2018," JA Entertainment's spokesperson said in a statement.

The release date comes after the news of a fallout between John's JA Entertainment and co-producers KriArj Entertainment.
