Shraddha Kapoor’s 'Haseena Parkar' To Release In August

Recent reports doing the rounds suggest that the release date of Shraddha Kapoor’s upcoming biographical crime movie 'Haseena Parker' has been pushed back to avoid any clashes at the box office. The Apoorva Lakhia directorial was initially scheduled to hit theatres along with Ranbir Kapoor-Katrina Kaif’s ‘Jagga Jasoos’. After delaying the initial release date by two weeks, the makers have once again postponed the flick’s release, from July 28 to August 18, to avoid clashes with Arjun Kapoor's ‘Mubarakan’.

“Director Apoorva Lakhia and producer Nahid Khan called for a meeting on Sunday night to discuss the promotional strategy of the film”, a source close to the movie stated, adding, “Earlier, it was supposed to clash with Anurag Basu's 'Jagga Jasoos', and Saif Ali Khan's 'Chef' on July 14. 'Jagga Jasoos' then moved to a solo release window of July 14, while 'Chef' was postponed to October. However, 'Mubarakan' will now hit screens on July 28. These days, it's difficult to find a weekend with no other film scheduled for release, and hence the producers [of Haseena] have decided to postpone their project”.

It’s a known fact that Shah Rukh’s ‘Chennai Express’ and Akshay Kumar’s ‘Once Upon Ay Time in Mumbai Dobaara!’ were prevented to clash at the box office back in 2013. Well, this year too, the history will be repeated as SRK has announced that his upcoming movie ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ will release a week prior to the scheduled date so as to avoid locking horns with Akshay’s ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ at the box office. “It's always nice if two films get their own breathing space”, the Raees actor revealed to a tabloid.

Apparently, Shraddha followed suit. On a related note, she has also been roped in for another biopic based on Saina Nehwal.
