Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra’s upcoming film Namaste England, which was earlier scheduled to release on 7th December, has been preponed to October 19, 2018. The film will now enter cinemas on the auspicious occasion of Dussehra. The makers have taken this decision as they are confident about wrapping the shoot way before its scheduled time.

The Punjab schedule of the film was wrapped up recently followed by a schedule in London. The whole cast and crew will now be heading to the next shooting locations. Apart from Punjab and London, Namaste England will be shot across Dhaka, Paris and Brussels.


For the uninitiated, Namaste England, directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, is a sequel to Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar’s blockbuster film Namastey London which released in 2007. The film reunites Arjun Kapoor with his Ishaqzaade (2012) co-star Parineeti Chopra after a gap of five years.

Aside from Namaste England, Kapoor and Chopra will also be seen in Dibakar Banerjee’s forthcoming romantic thriller, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar.
