While the Manikarnika team is working against time to ensure that the film makes its January 25 release date, the makers of Kangana Ranaut’s next film Mental Hai Kya have pushed their release from February 22 to March 29.
A trade source reveals, “Until recently, it wasn’t clear if Manikarnika would hit silver screens on time, because of pending reshoot and VFX work. But the makers of the film have now said that it will come out on the Republic Day weekend. Manikarnika is expected to run for at least a few weeks, and if it stays in theatres for over four weeks, it will eat into the collections of Kangana’s next film. That’s why Ekta Kapoor and Shailesh R. Singh have decided to postpone the release of Mental Hai Kya to March 29.”
Apart from Kangana, Mental Hai Kya also stars Rajkummar Rao, Amyra Dastur and Satish Kaushik. It is being directed by Telugu director Prakash Kovelamudi.
