Mumbai: Comedian-actor Kapil Sharma
starrer "Firangi", which is awaiting clearance from the
Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), is yet to be
green-lit, and the makers have deferred its release date
to December 1.
"Firangi" was earlier set to hit cinema houses this
Friday (November 24), but as the censor board is yet to
certify the film, the release date was pushed back.
"We have seen the film today and we will issue a
certificate shortly. It will be certified perhaps later in the
day or tomorrow," a source in the board told PTI.
Kapil, who is also producing the film, told PTI, "The
film has been delayed a bit. The screening of the film at the
CBFC happened today. We are yet to get a certificate from the
board. We are now coming on December 1."
Earlier, Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed "Padmavati" was
set to open in cinema houses on December 1.
But now the movie's release has been deferred in the wake
of nation-wide protests from various Rajput groups and
politicians.
"Firangi" was initially set to release on November 10.
Last month, it was announced that it would be releasing on
November 24.
