'Parmanu' to clash with Rani Mukerji's comeback 'Hichki'

‘Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran’ starring John Abraham and Diana Penty will release on 23 February in order to evade competition from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ‘Padmavati’ which is noted to release on 1 December and Salman Khan's Christmas release ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ which is set to release on 22 December, as per earlier reports.
Abhishek Sharma's ‘Parmanu’ was scheduled for an 8 December release. However, the filmmakers felt it was not wise to thrust their movies in between the two massive releases that are slated for December. "Parmanu is small compared to Padmavati. It's not wise to pit our film against Bhansali's. We've locked on the 23 February date since Anushka Sharma's Pari will release earlier that month, and Akshay Kumar's Padman is also eyeing an April date. Also, we don't want to interfere with Fanney Khan (starring Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) or Tarun Mansukhani's Drive, which release in the following months," said Prernaa Arora producer of ‘Parmanu’
‘Parmanu’ will now clash with Aditya Chopra's ‘Hichki’ starring Rani Mukerji, which is also touted as his wife comeback to the silver screen. Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran is based on India's first major nuclear weapon test in Pokhran, Rajasthan.
