The release date of Parmanu to be deferred again

Starring John Abraham and Diana Penty in lead roles, the forthcoming film, Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran, was initially expected to release on 8th December 2017. However, the makers decided to come on some other date as Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus, Padmavati, was slated to hit screens on 1st December 2017.

After shifting their film's release from 8th December, the makers of Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran decided to lock 23rd February as the new release date of the movie. The film was set to clash with Rani Mukerji's Hichki which arrives in cinemas on the same date. However, soon the makers discovered that producer Vashu Bhagnani is also coming up with his film Boom Boom In New York on the same date. The film stars Sonakshi Sinha, Diljit Dosanjh and Karan Johar.


Now, some sources reveal that the makers of Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran don't want to clash with two films and hence they are most likely to change the release date for the third time. “A three-way clash will hamper the movie’s business and nobody wants to lose money. Plus, KriArj has just announced that Pari is coming on March 2, so it doesn’t make sense for them to have two films releasing back-to-back," reveals a source.

But looks like John Abraham, who is co-producing the film with KriArj Entertainment, is not happy with constant changes in the release date. “Reportedly, John wasn’t too happy to leave the December 8 spot as well. So, it will take a bit of convincing but he should understand the scenario and think about what serves his film best,” adds another source.

Directed by Abhishek Sharma, Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran revolves around the successful nuclear tests conducted in Pokhran, Rajasthan back in 1998.

Dhee on staying rooted, making ‘honest music’ and Tamil music’s global rise

Highlights

  • Dhee says Vari Vari emerged from a deeply personal and reflective period in her life
  • The singer believes listeners worldwide are searching for “new sounds and new stories”
  • She says remaining rooted in her identity has always been central to her music
  • Dhee hopes to release more albums and perform more frequently in the years ahead

A song shaped by reflection rather than intention

For Dhee, Vari Vari was not born out of a deliberate attempt to move in a new direction. Instead, it arrived during a period of reflection that naturally began influencing the music she was making. Speaking exclusively, the singer described how many of her recent songs have mirrored experiences unfolding in her own life, making them feel more personal than planned.

That emotional undercurrent eventually found its way into Vari Vari. Conversations with lyricist Vivek (Vivek Anna) slowly shaped the track, which grew from discussions around love and human connection. Rather than following a formula, the song evolved organically and became a reflection of thoughts she had already been carrying.
