Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan’s next titled Luka Chuppi 2, to release on June 2

Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan’s next film has been in the news since last year. An image of both the actors was also leaked on the internet in last November. The film is the next directorial for Laxman Utekar after the highly acclaimed Mimi, which starred Kriti Sanon in the lead. It is now learnt that Vicky and Sara’s film is titled Luka Chuppi 2. It is the second film in the franchise after the first one starring Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon.

As per the latest update officially shared by the makers, the film will be released on June 2 this year and they will officially release the title on May 16, which is Vicky Kaushal’s birthday.

There were reports last year about Vicky and Sara playing a married couple in the film, although nothing has been revealed officially by the makers. The makers also haven’t revealed whether the film will be released in theatres or directly on OTT. Bollywood Hungama had reported in last September that the film will be released directly on Netflix and that the makers have sold the film to the streaming giant for Rs. 70 crores. This will be Utekar’s second release on Netflix in a row after Mimi.

A source had revealed us back then, “The revenue from the satellite will be over and above this sum of Rs. 70 crores. Laxman Utekar’s last film, Mimi had done wonders for Netflix and even this one is appreciated by those who have seen it. It’s the power of director, content, and producer credibility that has resulted in the film fetching this humongous deal. Dinesh has respected the OTT space by supplying credible content through the lockdown too.”

Fukrey 3 gets postponed, avoids a clash with Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan; film will not release on September 7

There have been quite a few changes in the release dates of some big films since last few days. It all happened after the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan, which was due to release on June 2, got postponed earlier in the week. This led to some other films reshuffling their release dates. Things got settled some time back when the makers of Jawan announced September 7 as their new release date.

 

However, Excel Entertainment’s Fukrey 3 was supposed to release on this date as the Janmashtami release. Naturally, the makers wouldn’t want to clash with a keenly-awaited SRK movie. Hence, they have now postponed the release of the film. As per the latest buzz, Fukrey 3 will now be releasing on November 24.

Salman Khan’s biggie Tiger 3 is slated to release on November 10 during Diwali. With Fukrey 3 releasing almost after two weeks, it will hopefully give the film a good window to earn. There is a buzz for the film with the first two films in the Fukrey franchise turning out to be successful.

Directed by Mrigdeep Singh Lamba, Fukrey 3 will repeat the cast of the first two films in the form of Richa Chadha, Pulkit Samrat, Ali Fazal, Varun Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi and Manjot Singh.
