Exclusive: Shahid Kapoor reveals why 'Rangoon' was postponed

Shahid Kapoor has delivered each time he's associated with Vishal Bhardaj. Their next film Rangoon too was supposed to hit theatres in Vishal's favourite holiday weekend this year. In the Gandhi Jayanti week.

Rangoon was initially slated for a September 30 release but that isn't happening anymore. Instead the film will now release only in February 2017. 

Shahid explains, "Yes, the film's release has been postponed by a few months. It will now release on February 24 for sure."

Ask him about the reason behind the delay and he shoots, "Rangoon is mounted on a really high scale. It's a very content driven film but at the same time, a high budget commercial film. Vishal sir is taking more time to work on the film's post-production which is required. That will take some time which is why we decided to come up with a release date in February next year."

After all, what matters is to make sure that film shapes up well. Even if it hits screens after six months. Knowing Bhardwaj, this might be another stunner. Along with Shahid, Rangoon also stars Kangana Ranaut and Saif Ali Khan in key roles.
