Milap Zaveri’s Marjaavaan was earlier slated to hit the screens on 2nd October 2019. But to avoid the clash with Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff starrer War, the film was postponed to 22nd November. However, now once again the release date of Marjaavaan has been changed. Fans of Sidharth Malhotra will get to see their favourite star on the big screen on 8th November 2019.
The actor took to Twitter to announce the new release date. He tweeted, “Taareekh nayi hai lekin anjaam wahi hoga. Ishq mein maarenge bhi aur marenge bhi. Milte hain 8th Nov ko. #Marjaavaan @Riteishd #TaraSutaria @Rakulpreet @zmilap @itsBhushanKumar #KrishanKumar @monishaadvani @madhubhojwani @nikkhiladvani @iamDivyaKhosla @EmmayEntertain @TSeries.”
Well, this change in the release date took place because of John Abraham. John’s Pagalpanti was slated to release on 8th November 2019, but he decided to push his film and give Marjaavaan a solo release.
While talking about shifting his film, John said, “Marjaavaan will benefit from a solo window and Bhushan agreed with me. Milap is a grounded boy and wonderful writer while Nikkhil is a good, solid man for whom friendship is non-negotiable. I have worked with directors who have moved on, but Nikkhil understands loyalty and will work with you irrespective of how a film fares. It’s important for all of us that Marjaavaan sets the box office on fire.”
Milap, who had directed John in Satyameva Jayate, said, "John isn’t just my hero, he is my friend, my inspiration and the one person who believed in me when no one did. So even though he isn’t part of Marjaavaan I know he wants the best for me. Hence I went across nervously to show him the trailer for his opinion. And I was so delighted that he loved it tremendously! He found it very powerful, massy and commercial! So much so that when I casually told him I wish Marjaavaan could have a solo release he instantly offered to shift the release of Pagalpanti and allow us to come solo on 8th November! Only a true friend would do such a magnanimous and amazing gesture! I’m also grateful to Bhushan Kumar sir and Kumar Mangat sir who supported John’s gesture and graciously moved Pagalpanti to allow Marjaavaan to come on 8th November. This is the perfect example of a friendship that will last a lifetime.”
Marjaavaan also stars Tara Sutaria and Rakul Preet Singh.
