Jabariya Jodi release postponed again

Mumbai: Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra-starrer upcoming film Jabariya Jodi has been rescheduled for release on August 2.

The film, which was earlier supposed to hit the screens on May 17, was later postponed to July 12, the release date of much-awaited Hrithik Roshan-starrer Super 30.

Announcing the new release date of Jabariya Jodi, producer Ekta Kapoor took to Instagram and wrote: "Zabardasti release date change karwaya (was forced to change the release date). I did not want release between two eclipses. So when too many releases came on that day, we moved to August 2. See you at theatres."

Sidharth also shared the new release date. "The surprise wedding of the year set to arrive on August 2," he posted on his Twitter account recently.

Directed by Prashant Singh, Jabariya Jodi is based on the real issue of 'Pakadwa Vivah' (forced marriage), which was once rampant in Bihar.

"I think I haven't played this kind of role earlier in my career and for Parineeti Chopra also, it's a different world and different role," Sidharth had said

earlier.
