If the latest buzz is to be believed, the sequel to 2007 hit comedy Welcome will miss its release date for the third time. Initially, Welcome Back was set for a box office clash with PK and then moved to January only to be pushed ahead to May 29. But now sources who are involved in the production team say it has been indefinitely postponed due to an alleged stand-off between the makers and distributors over the film’s buying rates, and also as financers have had an apparent showdown with producer Firoz Nadiadwala.

On May 11, we carried a report (Hardly Welcome) about Sycoriaan Matrimonial Services filing a police complaint against the producer for reneging on branding promise in exchange for R15 lakh. A copy of the documents are in hitlist’s possession.
