‘Haseena Parkar’s’ Release Date Gets Pushed Again

Everyone is eagerly waiting for Shraddha Kapoor’s upcoming film ‘Haseena Parkar’, which is a biopic on gangster Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haseena Parker. It is the first time that Shraddha will be playing a different role from the usual romantic roles that she has played so far. Well, this movie also marks the first time that the 30-year-old will be seen as the main protagonist. 

Recently, the trailer of the film was released which has given goose bumps to many. Everyone was waiting for August 18 to watch Shraddha’s fierce act. But, we have sad news for those who were impatiently waiting to watch the flick. The movie which was scheduled to release on August 18 has been postponed now.

August 18 will see the release of three more movies, Bareilly Ki Barfi, Newton and Partition 1947, besides Haseena Parkar. The makers did not want it to clash with other movies, hence decided to postpone it. “The decision to postpone the film was taken last week. Anil Thadani (the film's distributor), the producers and director Apoorva Lakhia realised that August was cluttered with too many releases. They realised that Haseena will have to compete with two biggies that are releasing in the weeks before — Shah Rukh Khan's Jab Harry Met Sejal (August 4) and Akshay Kumar's Toilet: Ek Prem Katha [August 11]. What makes it worse is that besides Haseena Parkar, there are three releases lined up for August 18 — Bareilly Ki Barfi, Newton and Partition 1947,” revealed a source close to the film’s unit.

This is the second time that the film’s release date has been pushed. It was earlier schedule to release on July 14, but, was postponed as the makers did not want it to clash with Ranbir Kapoor-Katrina Kaif starrer ‘Jagga Jasoos’.
