produced
Mimi
starring
Kriti
Sanon
was
scheduled
to
hit
the
theatres
in
July.
However,
due
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
nationwide
lockdown,
the
keenly
awaited
movie’s
release
has
been
postponed,
confirms
director
Laxman
Utekar.
Laxman
told
PTI,
“We
finished
shooting
on
March
5
and
were
supposed
to
start
editing
from
March
10
or
15.
We
edited
for
a
few
days
and
then
this
lockdown
was
announced.
Edit
work,
music,
post-production,
and
one
introductory
song
left
to
be
shot
with
Kriti.
We
have
actors
from
the
UK
as
part
of
the
song
and
we
won’t
be
able
to
shoot
the
song
till
the
time
the
international
flights
are
inactive.”
He
went
on
to
add,
“We
have
shot
almost
the
entire
film
with
the
actors
from
the
UK,
only
a
song
is
left.
They
are
there
in
the
whole
film.
We
haven’t
thought
of
any
alternative.
We
will
wait
and
see
what
happens.
We
can’t
do
it
at
home.
It
is
a
big
song
with
several
dancers.
Once
the
lockdown
is
lifted
we
will
follow
preventive
measures.
We
will
do
whatever
is
necessary
for
everyone's
safety.
But
we
won’t
compromise
on
the
quality
of
our
remaining
work.”
On
being
quizzed
if
the
team
was
contemplating
a
digital
release,
the
director
replied,
“No,
not
yet
because
the
film
is
not
ready.
We
don’t
have
a
clear
picture
about
when
we
will
be
able
to
shoot
the
song
when
the
post-production
will
begin.
The
release
date
will
be
pushed
for
sure.”
