The
release
of
actor
John
Abraham
starrer
Shootout
at
Wadala
has
been
postponed
to
May
3.
The
action
crime
drama,
directed
by
Sanjay
Gupta,
is
the
prequel
to
2007
hit
film
Shootout
at
Lokhandwala
and
is
based
on
the
book
'Dongri
to
Dubai'.
The
film
dramatises
the
first-ever
registered
encounter
by
Mumbai
police,
where
gangster
Manya
Surve,
played
by
John
Abraham
in
the
movie,
was
shot
dead
at
Wadala
in
1982.
The
film
was
scheduled
to
release
on
December
7
last
year
but
it
was
pushed
to
January
25
this
year
to
avoid
a
clash
with
Aamir
Khan's
Talaash,
that
released
on
November
30.
The
makers
then
announced
that
the
film
will
release
on
May
1,
which
happens
to
be
International
Worker's
Day
and
Labour
Day
in
India.
Now
it
has
been
postponed
to
May
3.
"The
movie
is
now
releasing
on
May
3,
that
is
Friday," John
told
the
PTI.
John
is
quite
excited
about
the
film
and
is
hopeful
that
the
audience
will
like
it.
"I
have
worked
with
many
studios
but
credit
to
Balaji
Motion
Pictures
for
the
way
they
are
promoting
the
film.
We
will
perform
in
Delhi,
Dubai
and
other
places," he
said.
"We
are
proud
of
the
film.
We
have
seen
it
and
enjoyed
it.
We
want
to
show
a
good
film
to
audience.
We
are
very
excited
about
the
movie," he
added.
The
film
also
features
Anil
Kapoor
as
a
police
officer,
Kangna
Ranaut
as
John's
love
interest
and
Tusshar
Kapoor
and
Sonu
Sood
as
gangsters
among
others.
