Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus 'Padmavati' was supposed to be the biggest release this year. But following all the controversies the makers of the film have voluntarily deferred the film's release from December 1. Although the new release date is still unknown, there's now news that the change in dates has given another film a little breathing space. Speculations are rife that Kapil Sharma’s 'Firangi' might just take up 'Padmavati’s' release date now.
A source close to the film stated, “The film has been sent to the CBFC (Central Board Of Film Certification), but it has not been certified yet. The certification might happen today. In that case, the film will stick to its original release date (November 24). But now that 'Padmavati' has moved, the producers are also thinking about taking up the vacant December 1 slot.”
Another source added, “Along with that, 'Firangi' will have two weeks’ run before 'Fukrey 2' releases. That will boost the film’s collections as there’s no other film to compete with. The film will get a good breathing space.”
