John
Abraham's
upcoming
film
Satyameva
Jayate
2
was
supposed
to
lock
horns
with
Salman
Khan's
Radhe:
Your
Most
Wanted
Bhai
at
the
box
office
on
Eid
this
year.
However,
the
second
wave
of
COVID-19
pandemic
has
forced
the
makers
of
Satyameva
Jayate
2
to
push
the
release
of
their
film
to
a
later
date.
The
makers
issued
a
joint
statement
to
make
this
announcement.
It
read,
"In
these
unprecedented
times,
nothing
matters
more
than
the
safety
and
health
of
our
countrymen
&
patrons.
Our
film
Satyameva
Jayate
2
will
now
release
on
a
later
date.
Till
then,
let's
keep
our
masks
on
and
do
our
best
to
keep
our
loved
ones
and
ourselves
out
of
the
harm's
way.
Jai
Hind."
Helmed
by
Milap
Zaveri
who
directed
Satyameva
Jayate,
the
second
film
in
the
franchise,
has
John
Abraham
essaying
a
double
role
for
the
first
time
in
his
career.
Last
month,
the
makers
had
unveiled
a
new
poster
of
the
film
which
featured
two
John
Abrahams;
one
in
a
cop's
uniform
and
the
other
casually
dressed.
The
action
thriller
stars
Divya
Khosla
Kumar
as
the
leading
lady.
Earlier,
Satyameva
Jayate
2
was
supposed
to
release
on
October
2,
2020.
However,
the
film's
release
got
postponed
owing
to
theatres
being
shut
due
to
COVID
19
lockdown.
Talking
about
the
present
scenario,
while
the
release
of
Satyameva
Jayate
2
has
been
postponed
indefinitely,
Salman
Khan's
Radhe
will
be
keeping
up
with
its
Eid
release
date.
The
film
will
have
a
hybrid
release
on
May
13
which
means
besides
releasing
in
theatres,
the
entertainer
will
also
be
premiering
on
Zee5
and
DTH
platforms
on
the
same
day.
