The release date of Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon’s maiden collaboration, which will be produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Studios, has been postponed yet again. The film, which was initially scheduled to release in theatres on December 8, 2023, is now expected to hit the theatres on Valentine’s Day 2024. A source told Pinkvilla that the release period of Valentines’ Day is also in sync with the core plot of the film and appealing to the youth. ‘It’s a decision taken in the best interest of the film. The makers are now looking to hit the big screen in the month of February – which is the month of love. The release period of Valentines’ Day is also in sync with the core plot of the film, appealing to the youth,’ a source close to the development revealed. The source further added, ‘The film has some peppy dance numbers and will feature Shahid and Kriti at their best showcasing their dancing skills. There is also a romantic number, which could catch up in a big way with the audience. The flavor of the story added with music will make it the perfect bet for Valentines' Day release for the young cine-going audience’. Meanwhile, ‘Yodha’ and ‘Merry Christmas’ will now clash at the box office on December 8. The other movies releasing in December include ‘Animal’, ‘Sam Bahadur’, ‘Dunki’ and ‘Salaar’.
