Makers of big-ticket Bollywood films like the Aamir Khan-headlined "Laal Singh Chaddha", Akshay Kumar`s "Prithviraj" and "Bachchan Pandey", Ranbir Kapoor-starrer "Shamshera" and Ranveer Singh`s "83" on Sunday announced fresh theatrical release dates, a day after the Maharashtra government allowed cinema halls to operate from next month. The theatrical date calendar of the Hindi film industry -- which had remained largely vacant, except for a few major releases like Kumar`s "BellBottom" in August and Rajkummar Rao`s horror comedy "Roohi" in March -- soon appeared to be booking slots for a release one after the other in the day.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday said cinema halls and drama theatres in the state will be permitted to operate from October 22 on the condition that they follow all the protocols required to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Within hours, filmmaker Rohit Shetty announced that his much awaited cop action drama "Sooryavanshi" will open worldwide theatrically on Diwali. Starring Kumar, the actioner was one of the first major films which was pushed due to the pandemic, last year. The release announcement for "Sooryavanshi" prompted the makers on Sunday to book the dates of their upcoming films. Aamir`s "Laal Singh Chaddha" was moved back from its earlier announced December release to Valentine`s Day 2022. The Advait Chandan-directed movie, an official remake of Tom Hanks` 1994 feature "Forrest Gump", was scheduled to be released on Christmas 2021 but was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The vacant spot of "Laal Singh Chaddha" was swooped up by Ranveer Singh`s much-anticipated cricket drama "83".
