Makers announce new release dates of Angrezi Medium, Gunjan Saxena and Roohi Afzana

Confirming the news, producer Dinesh Vijan said in a statement, “Angrezi Medium is so special in so many ways and unfortunately Irrfan is unable to promote owing to his treatment. But what’s amazing is how so many from the industry have rallied around us in support. Karan (Johar) has shown unconditional camaraderie and has been so magnanimous by exchanging his release date of Gunjan Saxena and taken my Roohi Afzana release date of April 24th. Apart from my gratitude, it’s just heartening to see everyone in the industry support each other. I know this spells a positive change of how we will flourish and coexist in the future.”

Filmmaker and producer Karan Johar also shared a statement on Twitter. He tweeted, “Friendships in the fraternity are rare but when they exist …they are empowering! Dinoo (Dinesh Vijan) and I have have made an exchange of dates! Angrezi Medium will come a week earlier on the Gunjan Saxena date, 13th of March 2020 and Gunjan Saxena takes the Roohi Afzana date, 24th April 2020.”
