The Supreme Court on Monday gave a clearance to Kunal Kohli's `Phir Se...` for release after the movie got embroiled in a plagiarism row. Heaving a sigh of relief, the filmmaker, who is making his acting debut with the movie, says the film's release date will be announced soon.

`Supreme Court clears #PhirSe for release after an appeal was filed. Hon judges asked us to go for a settlement. I agreed, as I do not believe in fighting with members of my fraternity," the filmmaker tweeted on Monday.

`Hon judges felt creative people should settle to promote creativity & culture. Case is finally over. Release date to be announced soon,` he added.

According to reports, writer Jyoti Kapoor alleged that the film is based on her script, which she once discussed with Kohli. She moved the Bombay High Court, demanding a stay on the release of film.

The movie, which has been shot in London, also stars Jennifer Winget of `Saraswatichandra` fame.
