The movie was previously scheduled to be released in June but got further delayed reportedly due to production issues. The film finished shooting last year itself, however, it was postponed several times. The release date for the movie had been stalled reportedly due to creative differences between Mansukhani and KJo.
It will be the first film of Dharma Productions which will be released on a Netflix and will not have a theatrical release.
