Shahid, Kangana and Saif starrer Rangoon to release on February 24

Mumbai: Shahid Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut and Saif Ali Khan starrer ‘Rangoon’, which was chasing a September 2016 release has pushed its dates and is now looking for a earlier 2017 release.

Due to pending post production work, ‘Rangoon’ will now release on February 24, 2017. Only a couple of weeks back the film’s team finished the final shoot and the team’s absolutely happy with the final results.

The film will release just a day before Shahid’s birthday.

'Rangoon' directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, is a classic tale that is set against the backdrop of World War II. The director who wanted to work on this subject since eight years now, promises that the film will have the musical charm of Moulin Rouge, the romance of Casablanca and the intensity of Saving Private Ryan.

In this love triangle, we’ll see Saif playing the character of a filmmaker, Kangana as an actress from the 40s and Shahid playing the role of an army officer. The makers of ‘Rangoon’ plan on releasing the film around October next year. The film is being produced by Sajid Nadiawala.
