Vikrant Massey’s popularity soared with the unexpected success of 12th Fail (2023). Consequently, his next film, The Sabarmati Report, has generated considerable anticipation. Initially set for release on May 3, the film was postponed to August 2. However, fans will have to wait a bit longer. According to sources, The Sabarmati Report has been pushed back once again.
A source informed Bollywood Hungama, “The makers are looking at a new release date. The film is now expected to release in September or October 2024. The makers will announce the new release date in a week or two. The exhibitors, too, would be informed about The Sabarmati Report’s postponement.”
The Sabarmati Report Postponed To Avoid Clash With AMKDT & Ulajh
Recently, it was reported that Ajay Devgn’s Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, originally slated for July 5, has been rescheduled to August 2. This shift would have resulted in a three-way clash on the first Friday of August, as Janhvi Kapoor’s Ulajh is also set to release on the same date.
Besides Vikrant Massey, The Sabarmati Report features Raashii Khanna and Ridhi Dogra. This political thriller revolves around two reporters investigating the burning of the Sabarmati Express at Godhra on February 27, 2002. The film is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan, and Anshul Mohan, and directed by Ranjan Chandel.
Back in April 2024, it was reported that The Sabarmati Report would not hit cinemas on May 3. A source explained, “The Central Board of Film Certification’s (CBFC) Examining Committee saw the film and had objections to certain scenes. Additionally, it was advised that the film should be released after the last phase of elections, which will take place on June 1, to avoid violating the model code of conduct as laid down by the Election Commission of India.”
A ‘Strategic’ Decision Behind Pushing The Release Of Vikrant Massey Starrer
The decision to postpone The Sabarmati Report further to September or October was strategic to avoid clashing with Ajay Devgn’s Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha. Given the star power of both films, a simultaneous release could have affected their box office performance.
Vikrant Massey’s fans are eagerly awaiting his portrayal in The Sabarmati Report, especially after his standout performance in 12th Fail. The delay, although disappointing for some, is seen as a move to ensure the film gets the attention it deserves without splitting the audience.
This change also gives the producers more time to refine their promotional strategies and build more anticipation.
