The COVID19 lockdown has hit the Bollywood industry hard. Not only has the production and shooting of several films stopped but the release dates of several lined up movies have also been pushed. After the postpone of Rohit Shetty's Sooryavanshi and Kabir Khan's '83, it was reported that David Dhawan's Coolie No.1 remake will also be pushed. 

Starring Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan,  Coolie No. 1 was supposed to release on May 1, 2020, but now, due to the nationwide lockdown, it seems difficult to follow the original schedule. The producer of the film Jackky Bhagnani exclusively told PeepingMoon in a live session that the decision as to when the film will release will be made after the lockdown is over. Talking about the film's release, Jackky said, "So, we are waiting for the lockdown to open from April 15, as said by our Prime Minister. We will take a call from there on as to what's going on. As of now we are all in the wait and watch game."

 A report had earlier suggested that the film will be postponed for a June or July release, but the final call will only be taken once the current crisis gets under control.
