The
ongoing
Coronavirus
pandemic
has
affected
the
release
dates
of
many
Bollywood
films
including
Akshay
Kumar's
Sooryavanshi
and
Ranveer
Singh's
'83.
While
there's
no
update
about
Sooryavanshi,
we
hear
that
the
makers
of
'83
are
planning
to
release
the
film
on
June
25
and
the
reason
is
every
bit
special.
A
source
close
to
the
project
told
Bollywood
Hungama,
"June
25
is
a
special
day
as
that's
when
India
lifted
the
world
cup
37
years
back
by
defeating
the
West-Indies
cricket
team
at
Lords.
No
better
occasion
to
relive
the
moment
than
this
day.
It's
as
if
destiny
wanted
the
film
to
arrive
on
this
particular
day."
Directed
by
Kabir
Khan,
the
film
also
casts
Deepika
Padukone,
Ammy
Virk,
Pankaj
Tripathi,
Tahir
Raj
Bhasin,
Saqib
Saleem
and
Hardy
Sandhu.
Earlier,
the
film
was
expected
to
release
on
April
10,
2020.
Speaking
about
the
new
release
date
of
'83,
the
source
further
revealed,
"The
health
scenario
of
the
nation
lies
above
film
and
its
release,
and
the
makers
will
announce
a
date
only
when
there
is
absolute
safety
for
the
viewers
to
visit
the
cinema
halls.
Be
assured,
it
wouldn't
release
if
there
is
even
1%
scare
among
the
audience,
as
the
idea
is
to
get
the
entire
nation
to
the
cinema
hall
to
revisit
the
iconic
day
of
Indian
cricket."
The
source
in
the
know
also
informed
that
other
options
for
the
makers
include
August
15
too,
which
is
India's
Independence
Day.
"That's
an
option
for
an
extreme
scenario,
but
they
are
optimistic
that
things
would
be
back
to
normal
by
summer
end.
A
wait
and
watch
scenario
is
being
adopted
for
now,
with
a
team
keeping
an
eye
on
the
on
ground
scenario."(sic)
It
is
yet
to
be
seen
which
date
the
makers
will
finalise
for
the
grand
release!
