Tuesday brought with it rumours about an upcoming film running into production trouble. According to reports, the shoot of Ayushmann Khurrana-Sara Ali Khan’s action comedy, being bankrolled by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Guneet Monga’s Sikhya Entertainment, had begun in 2024, but soon got stuck.
On top of everything, even the release, originally supposed to happen in 2026 according to the report, was pushed. Whether theatrical, or OTT- this was another roadblock. But when HT City reaches out to the team, they deny it all. Karan tells us exclusively, “This is not true. We have 10 days of shoot left, and we are very much releasing the film theatrically this year.”
Aakash Kaushik, the director of the film too maintains that the film is on track.

Rishabh Suri is an Assistant Editor, film critic, and professional overthinker of plot points. He writes for HT City, keeping pace with an industry where news cycles expire long before the popcorn gets cold. He completed his graduation in English Honours from Kirori Mal College, followed by a Master’s degree in English Literature-effectively training his brain to over-analyse classic texts before applying those exact same skills to 3-hour Bollywood blockbusters. He got into the profession when he had barely graduated from college and has been at HT ever since. At HT, Rishabh reviews films with a simple rule: skip the dense academic jargon and get straight to the point. Beyond reviews, as Assistant Editor, he helps navigate the broader circus of showbiz, tracking everything from OTT shifts to sudden box office panics. In a beat driven by loud PR machinery and carefully scripted answers, Rishabh prefers cutting through the noise to focus on how stories get made and why trends shift. When he isn’t writing against a deadline, he is usually sitting in a dark theater, compulsively memorising dialogues. For Rishabh, analysing movies isn't just a day job- it’s a habit he couldn't turn off even if he tried.
