Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao's Roohi Afzana was scheduled to release in theatres in March last year. However, the makers changed to date to make way for Irrfan's Angrezi Medium. Due to the pandemic and lockdown, the release date of the horror-comedy got pushed forward. Now, as theatres are operating at 100% capacity, the makers of Roohi Afzana are reportedly planning to release it in March.
According to an entertainment portal, the Dinesh Vijan-produced film will release in the first week of March. A source close to the development told, "It’s a horror-comedy on the lines of Stree and the makers are extremely confident that the film will bring back the audience to the cinema halls. The Studio Partner, Jio, along with Dinesh have closed the terms and condition of the theatrical deal with the exhibition sector and an announcement is underway very soon."

The makers of Roohi Afzana are hopeful that the film will bring back the audience to theatres. If it releases in March, it will be the first Bollywood film starring A-list actors to hit the big screen. Films like Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari, Shakeela, Indoo Ki Jawani and Madam Chief Minister released in cinema halls after the lockdown.
"Though films like Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari, Madam Chief Minister among others have released in the cinema halls, Roohi Afzana will be the first Hindi film with an A-list cast to hit the big screen. If the content is as good as Stree, it should bring back the audience, and also put out a statement that the audience is waiting for entertainment at the moment. Many cinema halls are shut at the moment, but with the announcement of Roohi Afzana, they will open their shutters for the audience again," the source shared.
Roohi Afzana, which was formerly titled RoohAfza and then Roohi Afza, is directed by Hardik Mehta and also stars Varun Sharma.
