A source says, &ldquo;He is yet to recover completely and resume shoot. The filming is in progress, but there were certain portions that had to be shot in April and the entire unit had been asked to stay on its toes. But it didn&rsquo;t happen and those scenes can be shot only after the monsoon gets over. Due to this unforeseen break, the film will not release around Christmas.&rdquo;

The source adds that the film will make it to the theatres in the first quarter of 2016. It was initially supposed to clash with the Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone-starrer 'Tamasha', which has also picked a new date &mdash; November 27.
With the two films giving up on the Christmas slot, 'Dilwale', so far, seems to be the only film set for the festive release.
Bhansali was not available for comment.
