On Tuesday (February 15), Aamir Khan Productions' official Instagram page posted a statement announcing the same.
The statement read, "This is to announce that our film, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, will not be releasing on 14th April as planned. This is because we are unable to complete the film in time. The film will now be releasing on 11th Aug 2022 in theatres worldwide."
