Directed by Ravi Udyawar, Mom will enter Chinese theatres on 10th May, ahead of Mothers’ Day on 12th May. Earlier, the film was slated to release on March 22. However, now the makers have shifted it to 10th May.

“We wanted to pick the perfect date for the release of such a special film like Mom in China, which is a huge market and has great potential for the film to do well. As a tribute to all mothers, we have chosen May 10 to release this riveting film in China,” said Vibha Chopra, Head of Zee Studios International (Film Marketing, Distribution and Acquisition).

Besides Sridevi, Mom also features Akshaye Khanna and Pakistani actor Sajal Ali in important roles. The English Vinglish (2012) actress won the National Film Award for Best Actress posthumously for her powerful performance in the movie.
