Janhvi Kapoor’ two films Gunjan Saxena and Roohi Afza will now release on 24 April and 5 June respectively.
Well while we are happy about the friendly exchange of release dates between two the producers, it’s easy to get confused about which movie to expect when.
Angrezi Medium - 13 March, 2020
Gunjan Saxena - 24 April, 2020
Roohi Afza - 5 June, 2020
Irrfan Khan will not be promoting Angrezi Medium which also stars Radhika Madan and Kareena Kapoor due to his ill health. In an emotional message before the release of the trailer the actor told fans to wait for him. “Hello, brothers and sisters, I am with you and not with you. This film, Angrezi Medium, is very special to me. I truly wanted to promote this film as passionately as we made it, but there are some ‘unwanted guests’ in my body and they’re keeping me busy. I’ll keep you informed on that front. There’s a saying, ‘when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.’ It feels good to hear, but when life really hands you lemons, making lemons is really difficult.”
The message struck a chord with fans and stars alike and celbs like Hrithik Roshan, Varun Dhawan, Kartik Aaryan responded to it saying ‘we are waiting for you’.
