The Zoya Factor to release in September

Mumbai: Sonam Kapoor and Dulquer Salmaan's The Zoya Factor will now arrive in theatres on September 20.

The film was earlier scheduled to release on April 5 this year and then it was shifted to June 14.

Sonam recently took to Instagram to share the poster of the film along with the new release date – September 20.

"We're back after the strategic timeout. Catch 'TheZoya Factor' in cinemas on 20th September, 2019. Starring @DQSalmaan, directed by #AbhishekSharma," Sonam wrote on Instagram.

As per media reports, the reason for the delay in the release is the upcoming cricket World Cup, while some suggest the film is being postponed because the post-production work is not over yet.

The Zoya Factor is based on novelist Anuja Chauhan's book of the same name. In the film, Dulquer is playing the role of the captain of the Indian Cricket team, while Sonam will be seen as an executive in an advertising agency.

Produced by Fox Star Studios and AdlabsFilms, the movie is directed by Abhishek Sharma and also stars Sonam's uncle Sanjay in pivotal role.
