Padmavati row: 'Fukrey 2' bounces back to its original release date

Mumbai: Bouncing back to its original release date, "Fukrey 2" was on Tuesday preponed to its original date of December 8 after "Padmavati" was removed from its December 1 release date.

"It was always meant to be December 8. Even our teaser said 8th. But we moved up as Padmavati was shifted to December 1 and we needed a 2-week gap. Now that there is no movie on December 1 we are going back to our original plan," Ritesh Sidhwani of Excel Entertainment said.

"Fukrey 2" is a sequel of 2013 super hit film "Fukrey".
