'Bunty Aur Babli 2' is one part of the long lineup that YRF has up for release and as advertised by the makers, it's a full on family entertainer. The film was slated to release on 23rd of April. But just like it happened last year around this time, Covid-19 has hit us with the second wave. The movies which saw theatrical releases recently suffered heavy losses with poor box office collections. Keeping this in mind, makers have decided to hold the release of the film.

A source in the industry revealed, "When you have a big film at hand, it is important to put it out at the correct time so that it can reach out to the maximum number of people. Big films will pull people in the theatre post the pandemic and one needs to be careful about their release dates because films like Bunty Aur Babli 2 will greatly contribute towards restarting the industry.

"YRF has decided to not bring the film on April 23 for sure. “Bunty Aur Babli 2 is undoubtedly a big screen film and so it makes complete sense to hold the film for a better release window. It is the correct strategy to hold good films and not put them out at a time when there is so much uncertainly about how the pandemic will spread. Bunty Aur Babli 2 will also be big in the overseas territories so one needs to calculate all these factors. It is definitely the correct move."
