Varun Dhawan-Janhvi Kapoor starrer Bawaal to stream on Amazon Prime Video on July 21 instead of July 27

On Saturday, it was reported that Bollywood film Bawaal, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, will release on Amazon Prime Video on Thursday, July 27. Now, as per new reports, the film is going to prepone.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The makers and the team of Amazon Prime Video initially decided to drop Bawaal on July 27. However, Varun Dhawan and others in the core team felt that it won’t be a correct move as Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani releases on July 28. Though KJo’s film will be released in cinemas, Varun still felt that it won’t be fair to premiere his film on OTT a day before his mentor’s much-awaited film will be out. As we all know, Varun holds Karan in high regard as the latter was the one who launched the former in Student Of The Year (2012).”

The source continued, “The deciding authorities felt merit in this argument. Hence, they have decided to now bring Bawaal on Friday, July 21. The promotions are expected to begin in the first week of July.”

Meanwhile, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani stars Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi.

Coming to Bawaal, it is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala’s Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. Reportedly, Bawaal will have a premiere at Eiffel Tower in Paris, France in mid-July.
