John Abraham starrer Parmanu will now release on May 4

After terminating a contract with production company KriArj Entertainment in the interest of “Parmanu – The Story Of Pokhran”, John Abraham Entertainment on Monday announced the film will soon get a new release date. The film will now release on May 4.

Its director Abhishek Sharma is happy as the movie’s release now coincides with the same month as the Pokhran tests 20 years ago. John Abraham’s banner on Monday announced the termination of a contract with KriArj Entertainment for “Parmanu – The Story Of Pokhran”, which has been delayed since last year.

JA Entertainment said, “Much in line with India’s journey to becoming a nuclear power, our film’s journey to its release has also had its own ups and downs! However, it is perhaps a befitting tribute to the true heroes of our nuclear program- our army and our scientists, that Parmanu is releasing in the same month as we celebrate 20 years of Operation Shakti- India’s nuclear test explosions in Pokhran in May 1998. We are extremely proud of the film and what it stands for and can’t wait to take it to our audience on 4th May, 2018.”

The film was originally scheduled to release on December 8, 2017. Its release date got pushed to February 23, 2018 and then to April 6 2018. The latest release date will result in a box office clash between John Abraham and Amitabh Bachhan (102 Not Out).

Parmanu- The Story of Pokhran is an ode to the Indian army and scientists, who although ordinary people, accomplished truly extraordinary feats in the face of adversity. It salutes, celebrates and truly embraces the slogan- Jai Jawan Jai Vigyan. While the premise of the film is based on true events, the characters are fictitious.
