The cases are increasing every single day. So of course, I wanted the release as a lot of things are dependent upon it but things happen for good. All the promotions were done. It's a major risk but if the theatres are shut, how can makers release it. It's a huge loss. Now we have to wait for it. I'm eagerly waiting for the new release date. I feel it will take more than 6 months."
