Varun and Janhvi's Bawaal to now release on Oct 6

The makers of the upcoming social drama film Bawaal on Wednesday announced the new release date of their film.

Taking to Twitter, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment tweeted, "National Award-winners Sajid Nadiadwala and Nitesh Tiwari are back with BAWAAL. Watch their epic creation on 6th October 2023 in theatres near you! Starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor.”


Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film stars Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead roles.

Previously, the film was scheduled to hit the theatres on April 7, 2023. It will now release in cinemas on October 6, 2023.

Due to the impending VFX and technical requirements, the decision to push the release of the film is taken.

The film went on floors last April in Lucknow and the team later travelled to Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Bawaal marks the first on-screen collaboration between Varun and Janhvi.

Meanwhile, Dhawan will be also seen in the official Hindi adaptation of the Hollywood series Citadel.

It is being created by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K. The action-packed series also stars Samantha Ruth Prabhu.

It is an Indian adaptation of the Russo Brothers' series of the same name. Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden are headlining the international version.

The release date of the Indian version of Citadel is awaited, while Priyanka Chopra-starrer Citadel will drop on April 28 on Prime Video.

Janhvi, on the other hand, will also be seen in Karan Johar's next sports drama film Mr and Mrs Maahi opposite Rajkummar Rao.

  • Netflix leads the push with Kurukshetra and Mahavatar Narsimha.
  • UK viewers can access some titles now, though licensing varies.
  • Regional stories and folklore films are expanding the genre.
  • 2025 marks the start of long-form mythological world-building on OTT.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
