`Chehre` has been a dream come true for producer Anand Pandit who always wanted to work with Amitabh Bachchan. This is one of the reasons why Pandit knew this was a film made for the big screen. He says, "There was no doubt in my mind that this was a film meant for a theatrical release. `Chehre` is not just thematically strong but has a certain grandeur that deserved the immersive magic of the big screen. I have grown up watching blockbusters in theatres and to watch Mr Bachchan on the big screen in one of my productions would be beyond thrilling. This is also my 51st production and I wanted to make its release a special occasion for the cast, the crew and the audiences. The film will now release all over the world on 27th August and I couldn`t be happier."
