Ekta kapoor’s upcoming quirky and entertaining thriller Mental Hai Kya, starring Kangana Ranaut and Rajkummar Rao, has been piquing the interest of the audience with its uncanny and whacky first looks. The film was earlier slated to release on March 29, 2019, however it was pushed as Kangana had reportedly requested the makers to do so in order to allow a "breather". Now on Wednesday, the makers finally announced the release date of the film as June 21, 2019 by unveiling the latest motion poster.

Going by the first looks posters, it is quite clear that the lead actors play characters, which are crazy. However, the makers will not show people suffering from mental illness as pitiable, sympathy-seeking characters. In fact, they describe the film as a celebration of the “imperfections and the crazy within us”.
Written by Kanika Dhillon, Mental Hai Kya is directed by National award-winning director Prakash Kovelmudi.
