Bhushan said, "Yes, Pagalpanti will now release on November 22.” Bhushan also happens to be the producer of Marjaavaan which will now open on November 8 (the initial release date of Pagalpanti). Interestingly, John was one of the producers of Ayushmann's Bollywood debut, Vicky Donor and now the two are all set to lock horns at the box officeAfter the film's runaway success, the two were to collaborate again, but the project didn’t materialize. Prior to the release of the Shoojit Sircar directorial, Ayushmann was quoted as saying, “John is my god-brother in Bollywood.”
