Due to the COVID-19 second wave, many production houses had to postpone the release of their upcoming films. After locking its slate for 2021, the second lockdown forced the top authorities at Yash Raj Films to scrap the plan and wait for the situation to normalise. Now, a day after the Chief Minister of Maharashtra - Uddhav Thackeray, declared that theatres in the state will reopen on October 22, YRF decided to announce the theatrical release dates of 4 upcoming films.
Today, YRF confirmed that Prithviraj, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Bunty Aur Babli 2 and Shamshera will be opening in theatres in 2021 and 2022. Bunty Aur Babli 2 starring Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari Wagh will be releasing on November 19 this year. The film is directed by Varun V. Sharma.
