"Krantiveer - The Revolution", a sequel to Mehul Kumar's 1994 "Krantiveer", has been pushed back by two weeks for a June 25 release from its scheduled date of June 13 due to technical reasons.

"We needed more time for publicity and marketing and that's the reason we have pushed the film ahead by two weeks, " Kumar, who has directed the sequel, said in a statement.

"We are not in competition with any of the bigger films, but we preferred a gap instead of coming at the tailend of a bigger movie, " added Kumar.

"Krantiveer - The Revolution" is preceded by big budget outings like "Raajneeti" and "Raavan" on June 4 and June 18 respectively.
